Several calendar requests have been ratified by Harness Racing Victoria (HRV).
Among them are the Sunday March 3 timeslot, previously Boort Cup day, which is now a Hamilton meeting.
The Hamilton club requested a Sunday timeslot to house its new sprint feature race, a $14,000 C5-M2 1660m event, in which the club is encouraging participants to try and break the track record.
More details on this race will be released in coming weeks.
“Hamilton understands it has a fast track and the club was keen to create a new race day, promoting community involvement and giving local sporting clubs the opportunity to be involved. It’s an exciting idea. We encourage clubs to think laterally when it comes to promotion of the industry, so were happy to program this race at Hamilton and support this proposal,” HRV General Manager of Racing Steve Bell said.
