McHugh confident Valtino can add to his harness racing riches

Optimistic that he’s on the cusp of a memorable moment, passionate owner John McHugh has put his chips in for more good times at the trots.

The life-long harness racing devotee snapped up an impressive trotting filly at the Haras Des Trotteurs Nutrien Equine Melbourne standardbred sale last Sunday, just six days before both her half-brother, Valtino, and McHugh’s already flying filly, Maoris Mac, chase rich success at Melton.
