Lance Justice joins Gordon Rothacker Medal honour roll

Champion trainer-driver Lance Justice has now won Victorian harness racing’s highest individual honour, the Gordon Rothacker Medal.

The 66-year-old, who raced champion horses such as Smoken Up and Sokyola in a magnificent career on the track, joined an illustrious honour roll on Saturday night when he was acknowledged for his lifetime contribution to the sport.

“It's pretty special, that's for sure,” an emotional Justice said.
