🏆 Congratulations to Grace Panella on reaching 100 training wins! 🏆

The milestone moment came with Reign Maker, who saluted at Tamworth on April 16.

A lifelong participant in harness racing, Grace first made her mark as a standout in the mini trotting ranks before stepping into the training ranks in 2023. At just 23, she has already built an impressive résumé — including 279 wins in the sulky since beginning her driving career in the 2018/19 season.

A fantastic achievement and an exciting future ahead 👏✨
