BALLARAT-TRAINED STAR READY TO SIZZLE AROUND SHEPPARTON ON A COLD WINTER’S NIGHT
Picture: Stuart McCormick
Star showing: Ride High, driven by Kima Frenning, will race at Shepparton tomorrow night.
Ride High’s waltz into rare air is expected to continue at Shepparton tomorrow night, with the speed freak tipped to build on his already enormous reputation and notch a 10thstraight victory.
The horse, who’s nicknamed “Chainsaw” and become renowned as “the Ballarat Beast”, steps out at 6.05 pm in the Neatline Homes Pace, where he’s likely to be a short $1.04 favourite amid a six-horse field.
While tomorrow night won’t gift sports fans the coveted match-up between Ride High and Victoria’s fastest ever pacer Lochinvar Art, with the Sheppartontrained star recovering from a minor viral infection, entertainment is guaranteed if Ride High’s most recent performances are any gauge.

RIDE HIGH MAKES MORAN SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE, BUT HE’S HAPPY WITH HIS STAR LOCHINVAR ART
Lochinvar Art’s Shepparton trainer-driver David Moran says you couldn’t help but be impressed with Ride High’s stunning track record run last Saturday night at Bendigo.
But he won’t be deliberately dodging the Clayton Tonkintrained superstar pacer with his outstanding pacer.
‘‘We could be racing against each other at the Shepparton meeting next Saturday night week (August 21),’’ Moran said this week.
‘‘I’ve had that race in mind with Lochinvar Art for his next outing and they are looking at it too with Ride High I’ve been told.’’
But Moran said he had heard nothing more on a recently mooted match race between the two superstar pacers.
At Bendigo last Saturday night Ride High put in a dazzling track record shattering 1:49.0 performance after sitting in the death seat for the last lap.
He lopped a whopping 2.07 seconds off the track record for the 1690 m trip of 1:51.7 established on June 6 by the David Aiken-trained Leonidis.
Lochinvar Art returned to racing at Shepparton on July 25 when he accounted for the Aiken-trained Sirletic, the same pacer Ride High beat at Bendigo.

AUSTRALIA’S CHAMPION REINSMAN THE ICEMAN AND CLAUDYS PRINCESS TOOK SYNDICATE ON ONE GREAT RIDE
The death of champion trots driver Gavin Lang on Friday has brought back plenty of memories for Kyabram’s Gus Underwood. Underwood, who has been The News' trots writer for more than 50 years, and Josh Pell bred the top racemare Claudys Princess, who put Kyabram and the Goulburn Valley on the Australian harness racing map a few years ago when, through her racetrack deeds, she was awarded Australia’s top female trotter award for three consecutive years — as a two, three and four-year-old. Raced by the Catchya syndicate Claudys Princess was driven to 21 of her 22 wins by Lang. After some uncanny circumstances leading up to Lang’s death on Friday Underwood has written this tribute to the man they called The Iceman. A fruitful partnership: Gavin Lang aboard Claudys Princess.
