Ballarat & District Trotting Club is gearing up for one of the biggest Breeders Crown Semi-Final nights in living memory this Saturday night (August 22) at Bray Raceway.
On the track the action is expected to be fierce with anticipation building towards Australasia’s biggest futurity’s series.
Long renown as perhaps even more exciting than Super Sunday just over a week later, Saturday night will see the clash of some of the southern hemisphere’s best horses as they battle it out to earn their right to progress.
Star three-year-old’s Follow The Stars and Menin Gate are on a collision course while the best two-year-old fillies in the land, Heavens Trend and Our Dream About Me will also go head-to-head.
The season defining clashes don’t end there with The Orange Agent putting her title on the line as one of the best Kiwi fillies to emerge in the past decade.
In addition to a huge night of racing, the club is also providing plenty of on-course entertainment with the assistance of the Victorian Government’s Raceday Attraction Program. Headlining the attractions are Will & Steve ‘the Gourmet Pommies’ Champions of My Kitchen Rules 2015 who will deliver a live cooking demonstration. And patrons will have the chance to win be on track for your chance to win a Webber BBQ/Accessories + a premium meat pack.
As if that wasn’t excitement enough, the Sportsmans’ Panel featuring the Goodform Punters Club Challenge will see the TAB’s Jaimee Rogers going head to head with Harness Racing Victoria’s own Blake Redden in a Beauty and the Beast match-up. Entry is just $20 a ticket – pick a team or choose both for more chances to win big on the Trots. Jaimee and Blake will be joined on stage by esteemed industry participants, including winner drivers and trainers throughout the night.
