HRNSW regional boundaries There are huge rumblings in NSW harness racing outside Sydney, with red hot mail circulating through the industry that a number of the current club CEO’s at regional clubs about to be given the Khyber Pass and replace by regional administrators appointed by HRNSW. How this can happen other than at the […]
On a day of all round excitement and intrigue yesterday at Randwick, one of the most interesting things to see was the appearance of the recently retired former Hong Kong chief steward Kim Kelly on the panel for the day headed by his former deputy Steve Railton.
