Just Believe is a legendary Australian Standardbred who captured the hearts of harness racing fans with his consistency and remarkable rise to the top of the trotting ranks. Trained by Jess Tubbs and driven by the late Greg Sugars, Just Believe became a standout in an era of competitive open-class trotters, earning respect both at home and abroad.

A late bloomer by top-level racing standards, Just Believe’s career soared in 2022 and 2023, when he dominated the Australasian trotting scene. His greatest triumphs include back-to-back wins in the prestigious Group 1 Great Southern Star, along with victories in the Inter Dominion Trotting Championship and the Victorian Trotters’ Derby. These wins not only showcased his elite ability but also his incredible staying power and temperament.

In 2023, Just Believe made history by becoming the first Australian-trained trotter in decades to compete on the world stage in Sweden’s famed Elitloppet carnival. Although he didn’t win, his efforts against the best in Europe were widely praised and marked a significant moment for Australian trotting on the international stage.

With over $1 million in prize money and a growing fan base, Just Believe has become a symbol of perseverance and professionalism. His calm demeanor, strong finishing runs, and partnership with the Sugars-Tubbs team have made him one of the most admired trotters in modern Australian harness racing.
