Australian Drivers Championship Globe Derby

Harness & Greyhounds
South Australia doing it properly tonight with the entire 10 race programme dedicated to the championship rather than a race here, a race there, at different tracks, "hidden" amongst the normal race day programme.

A proper series, all states represented by their best drivers, trotters and pacers, each driver with 8 drives, a chance to get some good horses, some poorer ones, some good draws, some bad ones. Will be an interesting watch and should generate great interest out at Globe Derby with running tallies throughout the night.

For local owners and trainers, stakes of $8,000 for all races plus a $14,000 main race are at the top end of what SA pays, so they have incentivised the series. Definitely some green shoots emerging for SA Harness with the new management.

    If the betting markets are any guide Jnr and Deni have some good drives.

    Both Jnr and Deni doing really well but Deni has chucked the form guide out the window.....with a couple of big place dividends. Going to be close for the last few races.

    Disappointing that there is no running total of points for the series available anywhere.

    Delosa 68, Jnr 65 Deni 62 with one to go an Delosa does not have a drive in the last heat.

    And Deni 2nd? Brilliant finale. 72 to 69 I think. Well done to all.

    Whoops, can't count, Deni a close 3rd. Great result for both Jnr and Deni and an excellent series.

    G Hall Jnr -72       1st
    A Delosa  - 68       2nd
    D.Roberts -66       3rd

    Think that was final tally.

    Why did Delosa not have a drive in last heat ?

    More contestants (12) than the 10 maximum field size, so each driver was allocated 8 drives in the 10 races. Races 2 and 10 were Delosa's rostered drives off, Jnr missed race 1 and 6 and Deni race 3 and 4.
