New Zealand`s Hat Trick at The Isle Of Man:

New Plymouth’s Shaun Harris has won his second title at the 2003 Isle Of Man. At the weekend he added the 600TT Title to his collection after winning the 1000TT a few days earlier. In between, another kiwi, Bruce Anstey, won the Junior TT - making this the most successful New Zealand Isle of Man campaign in modern era.

Harris’s latest win came in bizarre circumstances. The race was delayed because of fog on the mountain section. Because of the delay the four-lap race was shortened to three laps but when fog rolled in again the race was again reduced to two laps. None of this bothered Harris who won by a decisive margin of almost 17 seconds on his Suzuki, also recording the fastest lap.

Bruce Anstey, also riding a Suzuki, slotted into eighth in the international field of 64 riders.

Racing at this year\'s TT has now been completed.
