Breed For Speed couldn’t have been a more apt title for the leading trotting race series that kicked off at Shepparton on Wednesday, when Monaro Maro reset the track record en route to a heat victory.
The eye-catcher was among the first steps taken in the build up to all-trotting card at Melton on February 27, featuring the $100,000 Australian Trotting Grand Prix – part of the Aurora Australis series – and the Lyn McPherson Memorial Breed For Speed Gold, Silver and Bronze finals, and Need For Speed Prince and Princess finals.
Featuring four Group 1s, it’s not only one of the great nights on the harness racing calendar but a significant Team Teal celebration and Monaro Maro (Gold), Allwoods Sunbeam (Silver) and A Nip Will Do (Bronze) all signalled their intent on the first night of heats.
