History of the D.G. Jones Banks Peninsula Trotting Cup

Following an inaugural equalisator meeting in December 1951, Banks Peninsula Trotting Club was described by Hoof Beats magazine as “highly likely to gain a permit to conduct totalisator fixtures.

Enthusiasm runs high in the district” it reported. That same level of excitement still exists today; the club noted for its innovative approach to conducting harness racing in a relaxed, rural environment.
