Say What
The
Driver - Harness
racing's equivalent of a jockey. Unlike the gallops, the weight
and age of a driver is unrestricted. Junior drivers can be licensed
from 16 years of age, while Victoria's oldest driver is 78 years
of age. Along with Alford and Caldow harness racing's best drivers
are Kerryn Gath, Daryl Douglas, Gavin Lang, Jodi Quinlan and Brian
Gath
The
Inter -
The Inter Dominion is Australia and New Zealand's most prestigious
Harness Race. The equivalent of the AFL Gand Final, it is every
trainer, owner and drivers' dream of winning the Inter.
The
Grand Circuit - The
major races in Australia and New Zealand are part of the Australasian
Grand Circuit. Points are awarded for each of these races and
the horse with the most points at the end of the season is the
Grand Circuit Champion. Example of Grand Circiut races include
Victoria Cup, AG Hunter Cup, Miracle Mile and Inter Dominion.
This season's Grand Circiut Champion was Smooth Satin. A driver
best remembered for his/her Grand Circuit successes.
