The strength of the Gary Hall Snr stable was reflected when Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) announced today nominations for the 2015/16 WA Harness Horse of the Year.
Hall Snr will have strong representation with My Hard Copy, Beaudiene Boaz and Chicago Bull. Stephen Reed’s Lovers Delight completes the four finalists.
My Hard Copy was nominated after posting his second victory in the Group One WA Pacing Cup (2936m) at Gloucester Park in January.
Driven by Hall’s son Clinton, My Hard Copy sat midfield and chased down gallant pacemaker, Devendra, to score a stirring victory.
Beaudiene Boaz won a hat trick of Group One races: the Fremantle Pacing Cup, the Golden Nugget Championship and the McInerney Ford 4YO Classic.
In winning the Fremantle Pacing Cup the rising star broke a race record, rating 1:59.9 and beating the previous bench mark set by Im Themightyquinn.
Outstanding New Zealand-bred gelding, Chicago Bull, won seven races and was placed on two other occasions from his nine starts.
A brilliant finishing sprint when he set a new race record to win the Group One WA Derby and the Group Two Western Gateway Pace the major highlights.
Injury-plagued pacer, Lovers Delight, caused a minor upset when he stuck on gamely to defeat Lennytheshark in an Inter Dominion heat.
Lennytheshark turned the tables in the Inter Dominion final but Lovers Delight lost no admirers in running a gallant second.
The WA Harness Horse of the Year will be held at Fraser Suites, Perth, on Thursday, October 6.
