2021 COUNTRY RACING ACHIEVER AWARD
The Australian Trainers’ Association (ATA), Country Racing Victoria and Victoria Racing Club (VRC) are proud to honour our 2021 Country Achiever on VRC Season Premiere Race Day at Flemington today. This award recognises the career and broader industry contribution by a country-based trainer, and includes a named race on today’s card. In addition, the ATA, in conjunction with Racing Supplies, will provide a trophy and a $500 product voucher, which will be presented to the winner in The Committee Room today.
To the award itself, and this year’s recipient is John Ledger.
John spent his early life growing up in Lalor on the outskirts of Melbourne. In the early 1960s, the family relocated to their parents’ original home town of Mulwala. John joined the local pony club where he competed in individual and team events around the countryside, including successful trips to Sydney Royal &Melbourne Shows where he often came away with championship ribbons.
