Mount Gambier harness racing to commence in new format
August 12th, 2020 admin The Mount Gambier Harness Racing Club advises that due to the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Club and Harness Racing SA have been investigating alternative options to continue harness racing in Mount Gambier, in the very near future, without the participation of our counterparts from Western Victoria.
It has been proposed to conduct race meetings in Mount Gambier, on a fortnightly basis, with 3 or 4 races in Mount Gambier and the balance of the meeting (3 – 4 races) being held in Port Pirie on the same day. Racing is likely to be held on Tuesdays, and will commence as soon as sufficient horse numbers in the region are ready to go.
The Club is very appreciative of the support of HRSA to enable this concept of racing to commence.
It would be appreciated if you are able to advise the Club asap of the number and approximate time your horses would be available to race.
Further information will be provided at the Club’s AGM on Tuesday 18 August 2020 at 7.30 pm at the A & H Committee Room.

HARNESS SA – Media Release – COVID-19
March 14th, 2020 admin 13 March 2020
COVID-19
Harness Racing SA has been monitoring the development of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) and its potential implications for the harness racing industry in South Australia.
The COVID-19 coronavirus has impacted businesses around the world, and we within harness racing need to ensure that its effects on the industry are both minimised, and managed in a clear and proper way.
To this end Harness Racing SA is closely monitoring the situation updates being provided by the Federal and State Governments, together with those from all relevant authorities.
HRSA is prepared to take any action required to ensure that we minimise the risks to human health and the potential disruption to harness racing.
HRSA strongly recommends that all those involved and working in harness racing follow the guidance from the Department of Health as this is the best way to contain the spread of COVID 19.
Everyone should practise good hygiene to protect against infections. Good hygiene includes:
- washing your hands often with soap and water
- using a tissue and cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
- avoiding close contact with others, such as touching
- maintain at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing or sneezing.
HRSA strongly encourages anyone experiencing the following symptoms: Fever, Dry Cough, Muscle Aches, Tiredness and Difficulty Breathing to seek medical intervention and to isolate yourself to prevent the spread to other people.
At this point we are proceeding with our racing programme.
As the situation continues to develop, we will update you with pertinent information.
