2022 Australasian Young Drivers Championship
HRSA is proud to advise that South Australia’s representative for the 2022 Australasian Young Championships is….
Samantha Pascoe
These Championships have been on a Covid enforced hiatus since 2019. During this period of time, Sam has established herself as a top young driver in our ranks, highlighted by her runaway victory in last season’s Young Drivers’ Premiership.
The Australasian Young Championship is a wonderful initiative that traces back a number of decades. A long list of notable winners include Todd McCarthy, Kerryn Manning, James Rattray and SA’s very own Dani Hill in 2009.
Drivers will compete in 10 races across 6 different tracks throughout Victoria from December 2nd – 9th before enjoying some hospitality together on Inter Dominion night at Melton, Saturday December 10th.
The race schedule is as follows:

GLOBE DERBY PARK- SATURDAY 8TH OCTOBER 2022
Race 1: AGILE BUSINESS ADVISORY CLAIMING PACE
JAKES SPORTWRITER (5) was a winner two starts back when he defeated RUTHLESS ARMBRO by 7.8 metres. He should be able to use his gate speed and have momentum to lead from the gate five. If he hits the front, will be hard to pass.
RUTHLESS ARMBRO (2) and HIT THE SKY (6) most likely need to lead to win.
ARTHUR LOWE (1) is worth consideration.
Race 2: AB AIR SERVICES PACE
AMORE ROCK (6) mixes his form constantly. He was a winner two starts back when he defeated STEINMAN by 7.4 metres. If the real AMORE ROCK shows up and shows his gate speed he will be very hard to run down.
AMMICCHI (4), MAJOR MAD (5) and STEINMAN (9) are also chances.
Race 3: TAB VENUE MODE TROTTERS DISCRETIONARY
HAMMERS LAW (7) has won three of his last five. When he is racing at his best he is on a different level. Tonight he looks like a major chance of winning again.
LORD CHANCELLOR (1) will run a sneaky race off the front mark.
SCRUFFY DOOLAN (8) and ALDEBARAN ALISSA (6) are also chances.
Race 4: 2022 PLATINUM PACING CUP (HEAT 1)
SECRET OPERATION (6) ran fourth at Port Pirie last week against a similar field. He will appreciate being back at Globe Derby tonight since this track suits his style of racing.
DANCING FINN (7) had her first run back from a spell last week. She should be able to improve off that run despite the tricky draw.
RHYTHMATIC (8) and THUMBS UP (9) are also chances.
Race 5: 2022 PLATINUM PACING CUP (HEAT 2)
ARCO (6) has won her last two starts and is shooting for three wins in a row after defeating RUDI SANDEL by a half head last week in the Kadina Cup. She is a strong chance tonight.
CLARENDEN ENVOY (5), SIR ROMAN (8) and IM LADY MADELEINE (3) are also chances.
Race 6: 2022 SA SAPLING STAKES
RUPERT ROSS (1) is first up from a spell but has been performing well at the trials. He is undefeated at Globe Derby and he will appreciate the inside draw tonight.
LETHAL LOUIE (2) defeated WAITPINGA HERITAGE by 1.9 metres last start. He is a big danger again tonight.
INDELIBLE MASE (8) and WAITPINGA HERITAGE (7) are also chances.
Race 7: 'THE GLOBE' BAR & GAMING TROTTERS HANDICAP
LOVELORN (7) is a big time performer when he is at his best. If he continues his recent form, he is going to be a big threat tonight.
TEN NO SPUR (2) won over the border on the weekend and looks dangerous tonight.
ILLAWONG MOONBEAM (8) and MY BAD HABITS (9) are also chances.
Race 8: BARGAIN STEEL CENTRE PACE
PARTYATTHEBEACH (5) gets a massive chance to win today after two seconds since returning from a spell. This race looks a lot easier for him. He will take some beating.
OHOKA AGENT (3) drops down in class and is worth consideration.
BIG BLACK BETTY (6) and ULTIMATE TROUBLE (5) are also chances.
Race 9: K & S ELECTRICAL PACE
WHITESTARCHRISTIAN (5) finds a winnable race tonight after meeting some tough competition over recent weeks. If he can lob in the right spot he is going to be dangerous.

OUR MAJOR JACK (8), GRINFORAWIN (7) and CARLY MORGAN (5) are also chances.
Race 8: HYGAIN FIBER PROTECT PACE

MIDNIGHT SPORT (9) and SUTTER MAN (10) are also chances.
