Over the 157 year history of the great Doncaster Handicap there have been a handful of runners that have gone on to have a career racing over the hurdles.

The sport’s peak body Harness Racing Australia is responsible for the registration of deaths. Not a single question has been asked. There is a reason for that. The […]
