A big day of harness racing is planned for Warragul this Wednesday.
There were enough entries for nine races, with the first to run at 1:14pm, and the last due just after 6pm.
A number of local businesses are taking advantage of the meeting to hold their Christmas break-up functions, and the Warragul Harness Racing Club expects a big attendance given the forecast fine weather conditions.
Star local pacer Mister Wickham is drawn to compete during the day, depending on the outcome of his race tomorrownight (Saturday) at Melton.
Drouin West trainer Gary Quinlan will be well represented on the day with four starters, including Ymbro Toto, a mare which has had her issues but is expected to turn in a good performance this time around.
Races look fairly even throughout the day, particularly the third event, where the winner could be well hidden.
Veteran local pacer Melton Little Max, lining up for race start 247, could be a chance of victory if things go his way from an awkward barrier draw.
Local horseman Rob Evans has his first starter on his home track for many years when Into You contests race one, at just her second race start.
There is free entry to all patrons at Wednesday’s raceday.
