Bermuda Harness Pony Racing Finale Results
The 2024/25 harness pony racing season concluded at the National Equestrian Center on Vesey Street with a day of thrilling races and heartfelt farewells.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the emotional farewell parade for two beloved ponies, Itsallaboutme and A Touch of Red. Both made their final appearance on the track before retiring, marking the end of a distinguished racing careers. The crowd paid tribute to the veteran ponies, acknowledging their contributions to the sport.
The racing action itself was filled with excitement, including two nail-biting finishes that required the judges to consult photo finish technology.
In heat 7 of the 1:04 & faster time bar class, a photo finish was needed to separate Darico Clarke, driving Rockeyed Optimist, and Teshi Zuill, driving SomeGoldSomeWhere. Both ponies crossed the line in 1:03&2, but Clarke was ultimately declared the winner after a close examination of the photo finish.
The drama continued in the very next race, the 1:04&1-1:05&1 time bar class, where another photo finish was required. Colin Mello, driving ItsAllAboutMe, and Jashun Young, driving Holy Grail, both clocked a time of 1:06&0. After a tense wait, Mello was declared the winner.
