The level of interest in this event has been unprecedented, and the announcement of the drivers to compete is expected to generate even more hype and excitement. The list features some of Australia’s best drivers, with all of the invited drivers having a current or past connection with South Australian harness racing.
Many of the drivers also have a very strong connection and long lineage with Wayville including Holberton and Webster who were household names at Wayville in its golden era. Both families will be represented at the race meeting by Josh Holberton (grandson of Alby) and Geoff Webster (son of Lloyd).
Planning for the race meeting is well underway. Importantly, the Independent Gambling Authority has given its regulatory approval for the race meeting, with more information to be announced in the coming weeks.
