The ninth Series, to be staged also at Addington, will once again cater for lower grade horses with projected stakes totalling greater than $70,000 over three events.
There will be opportunities for:
C0 pacers at 8 August 2015 – Stake $23,500
C1 to C2 pacers at 8 August 2015 – Stake $23,500
C0 to C2 trotters at 8 August 2015 – Stake $23,500
All starters in these races are to receive a minimum stake of $500. There is no enrolment fee payable.
Field selection will be based on a points system.
To qualify to start in these races on 9 October 2015, a horse must have started at least once at a Met meeting between 21 August 2015 and 2 October 2015. With five Met meetings at Addington during this period there is ample opportunity for owners and trainers to prepare their horses for the series.
