Another Listed race for Soho
Date: 26 Dec 2025
From HarnessLink (21 December 2025):
South Australia may well have unearthed a rising young harness racing star after Hez So Royal (Soho Tribeca)
looked super impressive in winning the $35,000 Bellemour Park Stud two
year old colts and geldings Southern Cross Final at Globe Derby on
Saturday evening.
Fresh from his outstanding win in the Golden Nursery Final some two
months ago, Hez So Royal displayed high speed to head off his rivals
from the mobile start.
Held together by Ryan Hryhorec, Hez So Royal looked to have the race
in his keeping when his main danger Steam Machine raced up outside early
to sit outside the leader.
Hez So Royal stepped on the gas along the back straight but to his
credit Steam Machine held his ground and almost joined the leader on the
final bend. But the effort told and Hez So Royal running his last
quarter in 27.3 seconds drew clear to win by eight metres over a
determined Steam Machine with Gym Junky who had the run of the race
holding on for third placing. Hez So Royal is trained by Alan Cronin and his dam Our Royal Lady has
previously left the smart pacers Royal Watch and Hezrockinroyalty.
