The Fred Shaw Memorial New Zealand Trotting Championship should host a range of talent including ‘Used To Me’ @ Haras des Trotteurs Dominion Trot winner Marcoola will be one of the leading hopes along with Speeding Spur.
The Avon City Ford New Zealand Welcome Stakes has drawn a smart field of @YO with no real standouts.
In the Diamond Creek Farm New Zealand Pacing Derby the Vero Flying Stakes winner Jesse Juke will bring advantage into this coveted race, Ultimate Sniper has looked the best of the crop so far this season and is there any reason why he can’t add another Group 1 Feature to his resume?
Finally the Breckon Farms & All Stars Racing Stables Easter Cup, in a race which historically has produced many great Grand Circuit Stars the depth of the race this year is the strongest we have had in years. It includes the Christchurch Casino NZ Trotting Cup winner The Fixer, Auckland Cup winner Turn It Up and the Miracle Mile winner Spankem.
Watch this space! Good luck to everyone!
We look forward to hosting you all.
