Trainer Matt Gath’s career in harness racing has had some big moments with stars of the sport like Wally Walton and Exhilarator, but Friday night’s Arch Electrical Group Echuca Trotters Cup is extra special for reasons that don’t necessarily belong just to the 46-year-old.
The Gath-trained Bella Lucy takes on a massive step-up in grade, but for long-term owners Norm and Joan Visca, just having a runner in the race means a lot.
“It wasn’t my choice, Norm had asked me plenty of times,” Gath told Toby McKinnon on Trots Life.
