A good crowd of trots enthusiasts attended in beautiful weather for some great racing, several highlights including two Sires Stakes events for fillies and colts and geldings.

The first race of the day, the JD's Jam Factory Two-Year-Old-Event Pace was won comfortably by Wagga pacer Beijing Nbeyond, driven by Cameron Maggs a length in front of Seadragon, driven by Michael Jnr Day.

Race two was a closer affair, taken by Michael Snr Day's Bazzas Ace a neck in front of On the Pacific NZ, driven by KerryAnne Turner.

Race three was the $10,000 NSW Sires Stakes for Three-Year-Old Colts and Geldings, won by the bookie's favourite Life's a Dream driven by Rickie Alchin. Second place was tight in this event with only a nose between Laughing Lenny in second, Irish Jack in third and Arwoc Flier in fourth place.

Another amazingly close finish in race four, Mad Harry's Steelyard Pace, saw Roger Overnaut, driven by Steve Maguire take first place by a nose from Perfect Sweetart, driven by Ian Butt.

Race Six was the final NSW Sires Stakes for Three-Year-Old Fillies and the $10,000 prize was taken out by Burning Stature, driven by Mark Hewitt by half a length from Rama on Ice.

Burning Stature and Life's a Dream can now move on to contest the Sires Stakes finals events at Harold Park later in the year.

President of Young Harness Racing, Mr Brian Ingram said that the Stakes were a great promotion of locally bred pacers.

"The Sires Stakes can only be entered by horses bred from NSW stallions," Mr Ingram explained.

"It's great to see the events in Young and great to see the quality of horses that competed.”

Race seven was again taken out by Michael Jnr Day, driving The Step, a long neck in front of race favourite, Franco Norseman NZ driven by Rickie Alchin, with Nifty Woe, driven by Bradley Hewitt a very close third.

Race eight saw No Malice Alice come in first place, driven by KerryAnn Turner a full length ahead of the opposition.

Race nine and the final race of the season went to Wagga trained Mr Sky Rocket, driven by Cameron Maggs, a neck in front of Seaspray, driven by John O’Shea.

Mr Ingram added that despite the very late start to the season due to Equine Influenza, the season had been a successful one for harness racing in Young.

"We worked hard to fill the calendar up once racing could resume and have had some strong numbers of horses and spectators alike," Mr Ingram said.

"Everyone is also looking forward to the presentation night at the Young Services Club on August 2."
