S.A. Pony Trots

2010/2011 Season - 100% Driver Attendance and Pony of the Year

100% Driver Attendance

Double attendance points for drivers are awarded for the first two weeks of racing only.  This is to encourage drivers and their ponies to attend so ponies can be handicapped correctly.  After the first two meetings every time a pony wins it will be re-handicapped 10 metres or after three consecutive unplaced runs it will come forward 10 metres.

To receive the 100% attendance for a driver at the end of year presentation, a driver must attend all Globe Derby race meetings that have the mandatory 4 class races.  However, as an incentive to get drivers and their ponies to attend the first two race meetings where double attendance points are allocated then those drivers will have extra points to use during the season if unable to attend a meeting.
