Date set for inaugural Super Saturday

ADD Saturday, August 29 to your calendars for the inaugural $10,000 Super Saturday at Globe Derby Park.

Harness Racing SA confirmed its continued focus on reinvigorating and rewarding the local industry by announcing the criteria for eligibility.

All horses domiciled in South Australia as at July 1, 2020 will be eligible to compete in the $10,000 Super Saturday races.

Preference will also be given to horses which have raced regularly during August 2020.

These two measures ensuring prizemoney finds its way back to those making such a positive contribution to harness racing in the state.

“As a Board our primary consideration of the $10,000 Super Saturday is to reward those invested and loyal to harness racing in SA,” HRSA Chairman George Fiacchi said.

“We are seeing so many green shoots, returning prizemoney to pre-Covid levels, racing returning to Port Pirie, strong wagering returns enabling us to increase prizemoney.

“The positivity and the cohesion within the industry to create a strong platform for future growth is exciting.

“There are many more initiatives that have originated from industry participants designed to stimulate and grow harness racing, these will be released in the near future.”
