The combined Canterbury gallops and harness community is reflecting on the life of renowned racing photographer Colin Berry following his passing in Christchurch at age 89.

New Zealand-bred four-year-old Bring Forth headed to Caulfield on Saturday with a last-start Adelaide victory under his belt, and he went back-to-back with a strong front-running performance in the A$130,000 National Make Good Solutions Handicap (2000m).

Few trainers possess the instinct to recognise a champion before others do. Gary Hall did, and in The Falcon Strike he found not only his greatest horse to that point, but one who would leave an enduring mark on Australian harness racing.
