The 21st of March marked the running of our annual Cup meeting, held at Globe Derby Park. It was a fantastic night of racing enjoyed by all, with strong competition and a great atmosphere throughout the evening.

The Strathalbyn Harness Racing Club extends its sincere congratulations to all winners and their connections, and thanks everyone involved for contributing to the success of the event.

Last but not least we have the winners of the 1963 Strathalbyn Pacing Cup.
The Strathalbyn Cup was always solidly supported but in a first for the club there was only TWO horses in the 1963. Both trained by Alby Holberton and both driven by legendary Kevin Brook and George Gilbert.

And guess what!
They DEAD heated!
The only time in the history of the club, to our knowledge, that there was a dead heat.
