My recent favourite harness horse is Robin Hood. Big Heart and great racer. My all time favorite would be Westburn Grant saw him race in the flesh at Gloucester Park in 1991 Benson and Hedges Cup beating Village Kid, Sinbad Bay, Thorate, It's Motor Power...etc.

I've got to agree with you on Robin Hood, he's all heart. Peter Tonkin did an amazing job to rehabilitate him after all the injuries he had as a young horse and the troubles he had with quarter cracks leading up to his best win (in my opinion) the 2007 Victoria Cup beating Smokin Up and Sting Lika Bee. Imagine if he had have stayed injury free he could have been anything.

As for Westburn Grand i'm sad to say l didn't start following harness until 1993 when l was 15 so l can't comment on him and others of his time unfortunately. It's a shame because l missed a great era of harness racing and l would have loved to have seen horses the calibre of him, Poppy and Maori's Idol in the flesh.
