01.01.2022 PROFILE 11 This weeks profile is for a bit of a quiet achiever. Arguably Broken Hills most successful female driver with 120+ wins under her belt and most recently being crowned the NSW Leading Hobbyist Driver! Combining with Don Pimm the two have a formidable stable. Although quiet at first, once you get to know her the cheekiness shines through!... Cassie Robinson What is your nickname? - Cass How long have you been involved in Harness Racing? - About 17 years roughly maybe longer What got you into the sport? - Living next door to Don and seeing him training the horses.
