Trotting Handicap and Totalisator Dispute in Pirie
The Pirie district harness scene laments the loss of the totalisator at home meetings, hindering breeders and riders. Richer horses like Richter’s string and others once shone in Pirie, with Western Australia and Victoria now drawing top pacers away. Officials urge owners and trainers to push for reform and renewed wagering privileges to retain elite trotters and sustain local sport.
