Sir Prancealot (IRE)

Sam Hayes was keen to heap praise on Shane Collin's progressive Gawler and Barossa Jockey Club;

“Shane's drive and vision for what is our neighbouring raceclub resonates strongly with us at Cornerstone and I also have to commend RacingSA for their collective push to keep increasing prizemoney and Racing Rewards bonuses."

"Yet on a more personal level, it has been thoroughly enjoyable to have past winners of our "Sir Prancealot nominations" in Phillipe Huserot and owners John Chapple, Greg Blight and syndicate both expecting foals this year and my hope is that this Race Series helps to add additional vibrancy to our local breeding industry."
