Through the generosity of the Whyalla Harness Racing Club, a $100 float rebate will be provided to all unplaced runners at the Whyalla Meeting on Easter Monday April 2.

In addition, all trainers with runners on the day will go into a draw for a set of hopples donated by Hopkins Saddlery.

This meeting will see the return of Harness Racing to Whyalla for the first time since 2015.

The meeting will be highlighted by the running of the $12,000 Whyalla Pacing Cup, a 2360m Mobile Start event for horses assessed C3 to C5.

On this day the last of the Country Graduation Heats will also be run for 4yo & older C1 & C2 assessed horses, where runners have been competing at various venues throughout the state in an attempt to qualify for the $10,000 Final. The final will be held at Port Pirie on Friday April 6.

For patrons on course there will be live music and for children there will be a jumping castle and face painting, along with raffles and other competitions.
