BRIAN HANCOCK

AWARDED

IDHRC DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD

 

 

The Inter Dominion Harness Racing Council at its Mid Season Meeting in Perth awarded Brian Paul Hancock of Albion Park, New South Wales, the above Australasian Recognition Award for his Inter Dominion achievements.

 

President Tony Abell, in announcing this important award, congratulated Brian on his achievement and contribution to the Spirit, Ideals and Competitiveness of this internationally recognised Event. In addition, Brian has unselfishly assisted in the Event¿s promotion, where asked by Conducting Clubs. Brian Hancock¿s career as a trainer continues. His charity work illustrates an approach outside the norm of his harness racing role as a professional trainer.

 

In conclusion, his Inter Dominion racing and training achievements are well documented, particularly his partnership with Our Sir Vancelot NZ. In this year¿s 2004 Ross North Inter Dominion Pacers Championship Grand Final at Gloucester Park Perth, he qualified three finalists, a tribute to his outstanding professionalism as he continues his Inter Dominion career.

 

The Inter Dominion Community congratulates and recognises Brian Hancock.

  

Tony Abell

President
