The Port Pirie Harness Racing Club will be once again promoting Pete’s Pistol Shootout; a series to be run over the sprint trip of 1100m. This year the club has programmed non-penalty heats on Friday August 1, with a $3,000 graduation (R) penalty on August 8. The series is for 4yo & older horses assessed R1 –R2 with a random barrier draw; owners & trainers should note that there are no mares or drivers concessions for this event.
The Club is once again pleased to have the support of Peter Biddell for the event. Peter has added a slightly unusual bonus to encourage trainers to put a young driver (under 25) on their horse; The Club will pay a $500 bonus to first horse past the post in the Final driven by a Young Driver (under 25), donated by Peter. The bonus is to be divided; driver to receive $200, trainer $150 & owner $150 and will be paid on the night by the Club.
Nominations for the heats close on Tuesday 29th July at 2.00pm; with acceptances at 9.00am the next day.
