THE harness racing industry is mourning the loss of Grenfell horseman Neville Condon who passed away last Thursday after battling a long illness, aged 80.
A well respected horseman amongst his peers, Neville was a shearer by trade while also training and driving horses.
Neville shared many victories during his time in harness racing and not even age could stop ‘Nev’ as at 80-years-old he was still training and driving winners.
His last winner was Replaced Eye at Bathurst last October.
“Neville was a mainstay of the industry in his halcyon years,” Harness Racing New South Wales chief executive John Dumesny said.
“When he produced a horse at the races it was respected by his peers and the punting public alike.
“Reschs Lad, Irish To Win and many others were prepared by the master horseman.
“What’s more, Neville Condon was the consummate gentleman both on and off the track.”
A funeral service for Neville will be held at Grenfell Cemetery on Wednesday May 30 at 11.30am.
Neville’s family have invited drivers of the harness racing community to wear their racing colours to the service.
The Board and Management of HRNSW extend their sincere condolences to Neville’s wife Margaret, children Kevin, Maree and Leigh, his family and many friends.
