Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) advises that from Thursday, drivers competing at Victorian harness racing meetings will wear one set of colours for the entire program.
This will remove the need for drivers to share silks during meetings and is an additional precautionary measure implemented by HRV during the current climate.
Driver colours will be listed in form guides.
More money will be directed to breeders under a change to Vicbred first-win bonus allocations, which will take effect in Victoria from October 13.
Victorian hobby trainer Peter Wallis has broken a 28-year drought from the winner’s circle, preparing five-year-old gelding Orch (Lincoln Royal) to a victory at the Melton harness racing meeting on Friday night (Sept 26).
