Jenkins: The five freaks I'd select for my super stable

Anyone who has taken the time to check out my Unofficial Harness Racing Power Rankings (my completely unofficial name for the best horses in the game) will know I love a list.

I mean, who doesn’t!?!

Usually the power rankings are reserved for the best of the best - the open class stars who win a Miracle Mile or a Hunter Cup or a New Zealand Cup, but I’m changing tact for this list and - due largely to a pair of needy twins - the list has been cut back from 10 to an elite five.

This bunch of standardbreds are the ‘it’ horses of today. Those who are in the midst of their stardom and will own the headlines for the next 12 months.

Basically, we’ve lined up every horse in Australasia and picked out the top five … just like we did when picking our school footy team for lunch time at primary school.
