HRNSW Steward Todd Sharwood with Trainer/Driver John McCarthy.
Effective from 1 January 2015, HRNSW will commence a state wide Sulky Recovery Scheme (SRS) which will cover both sulkies and wheels in races only. This follows a considerable period of consultation with stakeholder groups, in particular the former UHRA secretary Mr Wally Mann.
To assist with this process every sulky used in races in NSW, is required to be assessed by HRNSW and tagged with a unique ID number. The inspections and tagging will commence immediately and it shall be the responsibility of the sulky owner to ensure that they present their sulky to a HRNSW representative to be inspected and tagged.
A compulsory fee of $5 per starter will be charged to the trainer, and this will cover the sulky and wheel from the time they enter the parade ring until they exit the track.

Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) is the controlling body for harness racing in New South Wales with responsibility for commercial and regulatory management of the industry including 31 racing clubs across the State.
