Bendigo

Harness Racing Victoria has revealed the make-up of an incredible feature race support programme for its reimagined Summer of Glory carnival in early 2026.

New Gisborne concessional reinsman Riley Pace ended a long wait at Bendigo on Wednesday night when he completed his first winning drive at his 39th attempt.

Bronte Nieuwenburg has outlined her selections and suggested game plan for Bendigo’s Lang Memorial all-trotting card, a meeting held in honour of Gavin Lang and his father Graeme, recognising their significant contributions to the harness racing industry.

Former Boort Harness Racing Club President John Byrne passed away at St John of God Hospital, Bendigo, on July 30 at the age of 88, after a lengthy illness.

Leading trainer Brent Lilley shared a great association with the late Gavin Lang, and he’s hoping to honour the champion reinsman with a winner during Bendigo’s all-trotting card on Wednesday night.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a couple more passionate about harness racing than Michelle and Dale Eastman — and last Wednesday (May 21), they made a dream return to the track after almost five years away.
