Newmarket Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I see on FB, Mickey House has asked who is the youngest junior driver to win a group race? I though I had a young P Young driving Stortford Lodge, but think he was not a junior when the Lodge won, plus don’t think he won a group race? A few have been mentioned, but anyone know any others?

With A Dream Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 I know this doesn’t count, but Maurice Holmes I think was 22 or 23 when he won the NZ Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gammalite Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Recent Australasian Junior Driver Championship Winner this month JOSH GALLAGHER defeated some of NZ best juniors recently in Brisbane, including Sarah O'Reilly. Josh won the ultra Prestigious Group 1 'Interdominion Pacing Grand Final' 2 years ago, with a Grimson runner, at the age of 21. probably the only Junior Driver to win the Interdominion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheree just 19 years old winning the Group 1 $300,000 Dominion Handicap in just her second season of driving. Ameretto Sun 2017. I think Sheree the only female (and possibly only Junior ) to win that Very Hard to Win race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
