Vale Johnny Jones

Harness Racing New South Wales was saddened to learn of the passing of respected Trundle participant Johnny Jones on the weekend.

Jones was involved in the sport for more than 50 years as a trainer/driver. In more recent times Mr Jones had spent time helping his step-son Gary Eyre, who continued to train a team of horses.

Mr Jones battled cancer for a number of years and unfortunately his wife Jenny also passed away from the disease during his long fight.

A hardworking committeeman of the Trundle Club, Mr Jones was a quiet achiever who lived for the trots and enjoyed all aspects of the industry while working hard on his farm.

HRNSW would like to extend its deepest sympathies to the family of Johnny Jones.
