They immediately spot a gleaming collection of trophies presented to Ashley at the recent Victorian and Australian harness racing awards’ presentation evening at Melton.
Mr Haynes owned and bred trotter, million dollar Inter Dominion earner Arcee Phoenix who won both the Vancleve awards for Aged Trotter of the Year and Trotter of the Year as well as the Australian Trotter of the Year.
His broodmare Justa Phoenix, dam of Arcee Phoenix and In Redwhiteandblue, also claimed the Trotting Broodmare of the Year.
Ashley hopes the display may entice some new recruits into the harness racing and get as much enjoyment he has in his time as a breeder and owner.
