Harness Racing SA continues to monitor the industry participants affected by the recent Pinery fires.  The support for the industry and its affected participants from both within South Australia and nationally has been positively overwhelming.

Industry participants who have sustained considerable property loss include Phil Westbury, Wayne Standish and Claire Goble.  Additionally a large number of Phil Westbury’s horses were also lost in the fires. Other horses, broodmares and foals have sustained treatable injuries.

Areas such as horse welfare, harness racing safety and training equipment, racing administration and general wellbeing are being supported both by Harness Racing SA and the wider industry.

In response to a call to provide donations, monetary donations are preferred.
