Racing: Troy Harris finds catalyst for comeback

Troy Harris is riding Catalyst in the 2000 Guineas at Riccarton today. He is the son of one of New Zealand's racing greats in Noel. Troy inherited his ability in racing and love of a good time. After the 2008 Guinas, he was disqualified for skipping a drug test and he didn't ride for five years. Now he is back riding and is hoping Catalyst will give him a boost. He will ride Kali in next Saturday's 1000 Guines. The horse is quiet and easy to get on with. Catalyst is worth $1.20. Harlech, Callsign Mav and Sherwood Forest are the main opponents.

Catalyst is a red hot favourite in today's 2000 Guineas. Victory would be the highlight of Clayton Chipperfield's blossoming training career and a comeback for rider Troy Harris.
