Port Pirie harness racing stalwart Dominic Tattoli had double cause for celebration last Saturday night at Phoenix Park when the well performed Tossup recorded its ninth win for the stable when taking out the $7,000 Henry Osborne Fodder Store Pace.
Tossup, owned by Dominic’s wife Karen and daughter Kirsty, led throughout in the hands of well credentialled young horseman Brodie Webster, and at the post held a decisive six metre margin on its closest rival I Wanna Rocknroll.
Tossup’s win followed that of stablemate Antaeus Blue Chip which won on 8th September at Port Pirie, also in the hands of Brodie who has established a good record with the stable.
As a result of both wins not only did Karen and Kirsty receive a healthy winner’s purse but also, as a consequence of the HRSA policy which enables young/concession drivers to win five races penalty free each season until they reach fifty career wins, both Antaeus Blue Chip and Tossup were not penalised for winning their races as Brodie had not driven 5 winners in the new season.
Part-owner Kirsty Tattoli stated that “the recent wins have been a great thrill for the whole family and we are happy to support the young drivers concept recently introduced by HRSA as it gives our young drivers the opportunity to gain invaluable experience in races”
The list of Concession drivers together with their available claims are listed below and HRSA encourage owners and trainers to engage these young people to assist their development in the industry.
