Ashleigh Reeves

With a long-time family involvement in greyhound racing, Ash’s journey into the trots began as an announcer on TAB Radio and through friends in the industry. While broadcasting races in TABradio studio and attending the country trots throughout the State, it didn’t take long before she was hooked.

Ash has immersed herself in the world of harness racing, as an owner, stablehand (stable manager, more likely!) and even promoting and owning Off The Track horses, who have retired and are excelling in their next careers. Ash’s husband, Hayden, is a trainer and reinsman and their three children love having the horses in their backyard, at their property in Coolup.

She was a co-host at this year’s Ladies of Pacing Awards and you will also see her articles featured on The Trots WA social media platforms, with the latest harness news stories and talking all things trots!

Ash’s love and passion for harness racing has flourished and will continue to do so, participating in and promoting our sport.
