Harness Racing Victoria Chairman Dale Monteith took part in the Melton Double-Seater Sulky In-Harness Experience at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday night.
Watch the video below to see how he went!
An In Harness Experience participant is teamed up with a professional driver in a purpose designed dual sulky where you then compete in a real race, complete with pounding hooves, cheering crowds and live commentary.
The In Harness Experience is held under real race conditions. We insist on the same strict safety standards as we do for our normal racing.
Drivers wear protective clothing including safety vests and helmets, all of which are provided as part of the package.
Your heart will still be racing, long after the horses stop!
