Story by Julian Linden: Daily Telegraph Legendary trotting reinsman Greg Bennett has won the biggest race of his life, scoring a decisive win in a landmark appeal to finally get his driver’s licence reinstated after almost a decade and a half on the outer.

After 15 years in harness racing’s wilderness, former champion NSW reinsman Greg Bennett’s long march to freedom is over after the QLD Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) this week declared Bennett to be a fit and proper person to hold a Class A Driver’s License.
