Chris Alford has done it – 8000 career harness racing wins to cement himself as one of the sport’s greatest ever.
The countdown to the milestone came to an end last Wednesday when Alford won the Hydrautech Ballarat Pace, 39 years after his first win in 1984.
In that time, he has chalked up more than 130 Group One victories and won 15 Australian driving premierships.

55-year-old Alford remembers the 1995 Christchurch and 2015 Perth Inter Dominion events as highlights in his career, while he has also had the opportunity to work with some of the industry’s top trainers and horses.
