Doesn't happen often so had to take a photo of Dave with a brush in his hand.
4 in at the park tonight.
Race 1
"It Aint Me Babe' - has had a few small problems but seems through them now. Should go well.
"Love On Line" - has been giving Leo some awesome runs. He reckons she's spot on.
Race 4
"Liason" - last few runs haven't worked out as he has lost a shoe each time and made his feet sore. Hopefully they stay on tonight as he has trained well.
"Castana" - back on a new campaign after struggling with a virus last campaign. He's a lovely horse and hopefully he will put on a good performance. He will improve on what ever he does tonight

2 in tonight at Cambridge.
Sea Of Love - just lost a tad of confidence. But seems back on track.
Mr Muscle (pictured) - if only he would not panic at the start. Hard when the unruly horses have to wait for horses in the draw to line up. Made up huge ground last week after breaking to run 4th.
Channeling Dexter's luck after he won half the card in the USA.

3 in the same race at the Park tonight. 7.05pm
Taylad To Use - hurt his neck on the way to the races last run but before that had been racing well. Worked super on Monday.
Love On Line - second up after not racing for 250 days so good to have her back racing. Lovely mare who always tries hard
It Ain't Me Babe - an enigma this one, doesn't miss a beat at home but breaking going into first bend in her races. So we have found Dave"s whites and put him on after nearly as long a break away from the races as Love On Line

3 in at Cambridge tonight.
Race 1 - "Wish For Fish" - working well, still does not like putting that nose in front, one day he will get it. Always honest
Race 2 - "Exhilarate' - hopefully they go more of a genuine maiden speed tonight than his last start. The draw should help
Race 5 - " Mr Muscle" suddenly has got very competitive at home, not wanting to be beaten. If only he would believe in himself at the races. Trotting really well at the moment

Two in tonight at The Park.
"Babe" has been working well since having problems with her feet. She has never coped well when the ground gets wet. She is trotting well and whatever she does tonight will improve her
"Leo" also had problems with his feet blowing an abcess out of first one then the other. He will also improve on tonight's run, but is usually really honest.

Very nearly bred a Group One winner last night. We need to try and breed them with bigger noses. Adelle goes a track record in the Prydes Easifeed Queensland Trotters Group One, just getting beaten.

Two in tonight
Bev The Goat goes round in race 2. Drawn 8. She never gets a draw or if she does she seems to encounter bad luck. Always runs good sectionals. If ever a maiden deserves one she does, although she does know how to press our buttons at times.
Tayla To Use goes round in race 5. They are several higher assessed horses in his race, but drawn 2 he just needs to trot off at the start. Our class clown he has been on his best behavior this week which is a bit of a worry

Sea Of Love running a commendable 2nd after having to make up a lot of ground from 2nd last. Mr Muscle just was on the wrong foot at the start, but trotted really well afterwards

Mighty Mouse (aka Liason) gets a close 2nd in a tad over 2 minute mile rate. Bev The Goat ran a 4th, where perhaps her super times in her last 2 races told a fraction. But was her 3rd start in 3 weeks

2 in at the Park tonight. Unfortunately had to scratch Taylad To Use as sick 2 days ago, was carrying on today like a winner, but he will stay in his box tonight and save that for another day.

Old Sexy Rexy did it, stuck his nose out and won an almost deadheat. Taylad To Use wins his 4th career start, not bad for our stable llama

He had it here after leading all the way, only to get nutted on the line. Taylad To Use gets the silver and Bev The Goat proved Dave wrong on his pre race interview and was a good girl running a fast finishing 3rd from last position

Totally relate to this

Two in a Cambridge tonight. About time for a change of luck so fingers crossed

McGowan Racing

Partnership started in 2001 & have had horses like Special Force, Sue Dreamer, One Dream, Pure Power, Blue Jean Lady, Corzenello as well as their own trotting family from mare Scusi including Scusi Boyz, Pasi, Scusi Doctor, Connie Goodin, Be Seein Ya, Revenue Maker, Great Excuses, Karacherie, Inkyroe, Just Anything & Adelle & now the next generation are coming through. Dave started training in 1985 & had many good horses with the top ones being open class trotter Special Force being one of them 1999 Inter dominion Winner, Kawerau Invasion. Father of 2 Luke & Hannah, he worked 2-3 jobs just to keep the food on the table as well as training racehorses since his move to the North Island. Clare UK born came from an Olympic Eventing & TB racing background but definitely well known for her rehabilitation & equine sports therapy work. More so known today as the Fix It lady to many. She has a 6th sense & if she isnt sitting in a sulky she is out fixing the race team or someones horse. Taitlyn Hanara is their current stable junior driver who the McGowan’s got involved & sponsored in Kidz Kartz when it first started in Franklin in 2004. Taitlyn started driving ponies when she was 5 years old & wore the McGowan race colours until she decided to ask for Special Force’s Elitlopp colours which she had a great Kidz Kartz career in, winning the NZ Cup Prelude, NZ Cup, Auckland Cup, Franklin Cup, Kumeu Cup x 2 & also represented NZ in the Mini Trots in Australia in their Interdominions & went on to become a junior driver in 2018. Previously she had worked for Geoff Small until he retired. Photo: of the Stable foreman’s Flash & Finn McGowan
