Herbie’s impressive success in the Ultimate Drivers Challenge

Victorian driver James Herbertson has proven himself to be a worthy winner of this year’s Ultimate
Drivers Challenge at Albion Park with decisive driving where he a
winning quartet on the last evening.

Represents the Herb Factor Syndicate and has a slight lead over Cameron Hart Gary
Hall Jnr and defending champion Angus Garrard enter the second round, Herbertson
made the perfect start as former South Australian Always Dancing (Always B Miki) did well
finished too strong to win the opening event on the program.

Angus Garrard got into the winning frame as he guided former New Zealander Whos
Delight (Bettors Delight) who was heavily backed to complete the third race.

Canadian James McDonald took the lead with Resilient (Terror To Love). But
In the fifth race Herbertson struck again with Strikem (Art Major) and he did the same in this stage
took a healthy lead over the other drivers.

Fittingly, Herbertson put the issue beyond doubt when he wrote Bellissimo Acquisto (Koop
Kiwi Made) in Race 8 and he capped off a great night as he led all the way with Major
Crunch (Captain Crunch) leads all the way in the final event.

After the final event, Herbertson paid tribute to those around him.

It’s quite surreal. Mom and Dad couldn’t be there tonight. They gave me a start in the game.
It was a crazy time losing a best friend. Then I traveled around the world, this is beautiful
cool.

All people in the slot. I can’t ask for much more. I’ll be back, that’s for sure. It’s an honor for everyone
the people involved. Hopefully next year it will be bigger and better.
