The harness racing fraternity is saddened by the passing of Newcastle harness racing trainer Barry Matterson overnight.
Indisputably a master horseman, Barry was one of the most astute men in harness racing, his knowledge being sought by both young and old.
Barry’s respect of and politeness towards others was exemplary.
His list of achievements as were the outstanding horses he trained lengthy.
Originally based in Granville, some of the standout horses Barry trained were Remember Rodi, Rollon Bigred, Bettor Motoring, Surfers Paradise, Willie Morris, New York Fashion.
To his family daughter Kim, Greg and Adam Ruggari and his friends I extend the heartfelt condolences of Harness Racing New South Wales and the industry at large.
May Barry Matterson Rest In Peace.
