SA Racing CEO Vaughn Lynch’s statement about the abandonment of the Bordertown races debacle on Sunday raises far more questions than it does provide answers. The Bordertown meeting was due to kick off with race 1 scheduled to jump at 12.40 pm. It was not cancelled until 2.00pm, ten minutes after the scheduled start time […]
19th August 2024 On behalf of Racing SA I would like to offer the industry a sincere apology for the events pertaining to yesterday’s abandoned meeting at Bordertown.

In another great fillip for the local standardbred breeding industry, the 2nd of the SA 2yo classics the BOTRA Southern Stars series final was won by a pacer from the powerful Victorian Stewart/Tonkin stable just like the 1st, and like Miss Disturbia it was a non-sales entry too. Doesn’t it do woners for the local […]
There were six races at Port Pirie. The winners of only two of them were post race swabbed after their victories. Those two winners swabbed were trained by Ryan Hryhorec (1) and Leah Holman (1).
