Kane Harris had that look of satisfaction training his first winner at Flemington yesterday, via Future Solution in the Spotless Plate.

That was the gelding’s fifth start since June at the headquarters, and whilst he has never disgraced himself, as yet he just has not quite delivered.

He certainly had support in the ring as he started third favourite after Lord of Brazil blew dramatically in betting, for no apparent reason.

Future Solution was on a promised trip to Tasmania, but that will be aborted, as he is not a good traveller he will remain here now to contest suitable races over the summer months, and should be capable of getting at least 1600 metres.

Things are beginning to fall into place for Harris, he has sent Just Forget It over to Tasmania for the Guineas and the Derby, he is convinced the colt will stay after his good third in the S A J C Sires Produce Stakes, over the Adelaide Cup carnival.

Like so many of our current trainers, Harris graduated from the Picnic fixtures 13 years ago to establish himself at Mornington where he has built his team up to 25 horses in work.

It is not a labour of love any more, he is a true professional trainer now and beginning to see the results that he thoroughly deserves.

Now that Future Solution and Kane Harris have broken their ducks at Flemington, they are likely to return again shortly for another serve.
