Teenager Rory Coverdale has had a long association with horses after being involved in eventing and riding since she was three years old, but her harness racing knowledge was almost non-existent prior to starting a part-time job with Marg Lee five years ago.
After gaining a licence to drive in races just this season, Coverdale steered home her first winner at just her ninth start when Matthew Craven-trained Banksofthemurray charged to victory at Hamilton on Friday afternoon.
“It was a bit unexpected on that horse. It was only the second time I had driven him. I had a nice, quiet grin after the line,” Coverdale told thetrots.com.au.
