New look harness racing season set to launch<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mount Gamier Harness Racing Club 2022\/23 season kicks off this Sunday in a season officials can\u2019t wait to launch.<\/p>\n

After a couple of seasons sharing the spotlight with Port Pirie, the Greenwald Paceway meetings will be stand alone this season and president Simons Phillips was hopeful that among other advantages, canning the joint meetings would help with crowd numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur patrons will be watching a full card of racing and that will be great,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meetings predominantly fall on Sundays as twilight fixtures with a smattering is Tuesday nights, which were introduced during recent seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope people will see it as a great way to end the weekend,\u201d Phillips said.<\/p>\n

The change to Sunday twilight meetings also means the Mount Gambier meetings will return to Sky 1 which will see a crucial lift in betting turnover, with that kind of financial injection critical for the sport.<\/p>\n

Hopes are also high more Victorian horses will join the Mount Gambier meetings, with changes to penalties making it a more attractive proposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have taken away the points for SA races that used to apply when the horses went back to race in Victoria,\u201d Phillips said. Victoria will also play another key role with a handful of drivers already showing keen interest in driving at Greenwald Paceway on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have had ore interest from young Victorian drivers to come over and that will be great to create a bit of rivalry,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cAnd we are light on for drivers based locally so it will really help to have those drivers lending a hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s showpiece event, the Pacing Gold Cup is set down for March 4 and plans are already underway for a huge Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The final calendar is not set but there will be a minimum of 12 meetings and hopefully as many as 16, running right through to May. The season launches this Sunday with gates opening at 5pm and racing from 5.40pm. There is full bar, catering and betting facilities on site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
