The South Australian Harness Racing Community is mourning the loss of harness racing great Trainer Jim Hurley.
Jim Hurley was an accomplished trainer, driver and owner for more than 50 years. With over 1000 winners, the 1964 Inter Dominion winner Minuteman was his greatest highlight as an owner. At aged 90, Jim still held an active trainers licence and had a runner, Heza Presidente in the 2015 SA Cup field. He was a true legend of the harness racing sport.
The harness racing community extends its deepest sympathies to Jim's family and friends.
This youtube video produced in 2005 by the City of Salisbury council depicts the humble, passionate and quiet man, Gentleman Jim.
