Closing in on 1000 wins

World-travelled harness racing horseman Darren Binskin has a significant milestone within reach.

The 61-year-old trainer-driver is nearing 1000 winners in the sulky.

Since electronic records have been kept, Binksin has sat behind 995 winners as a driver.

He can add to this tally at Menangle today with four drives.

Binksin will first drive his evergreen trotter Scenic Sky in race one.

The 10-year-old gelding will be facing the starter for the 179^th time in his career.

Binskin will then produce Valour Stride in race four.

The Well Said gelding has only had two starts to date and this will be his first start under Binskin’s guidance.

A race later Binskin has his pacer Jedi Mind and will end the day on the Jye Stanford-trained Theartofinfusion in race six.

Alongside his driving efforts, Binskin has trained 858 winners in his time on track.
