SA appoints new stipe

Harness Racing South Australia has appointed Chris Jasprizza as a full time Steward.

Jasprizza is currently a steward with Harness Racing New South Wales, and has been involved in racing integrity for 13 years.

Growing up in the Riverina region, Jasprizza comes from a racing family and was an accomplished junior equestrian show rider before embarking on a career as a steward.

He began his life as a stipe in the  thoroughbreds in 2002, and was then employed by Racing Queensland for five years, before joining HRNSW in 2013.

During that period he has officiated at a large number of harness racing meetings across the state, including acting as Chairman of Stewards at a number of country cups meetings.

Jasprizza will be commencing in the role in early March 2015.
