UK / IRELAND RUNNER TO CONTEST THE 2015 TABTOUCH INTER DOMINION AT GLOUCESTER PARK
In an historic agreement for the Inter Dominion, a runner from the United Kingdom or Ireland will contest the heats of the 2015 Perth TABtouch Inter Dominion, starting on Friday 27 November at Gloucester Park.
A series of four heats (two in the UK and two in Ireland) were run over six weeks and will conclude on Sunday at Portmarnock, Ireland.
Brywinsmagicpotion is the top points scorer on 20 points after a second-placed finish, behind runaway winner Astounding at York on Saturday. Unfortunately, the Scottish-trained Astounding missed the second round and cannot win the series.
Meadowbranch DJ, which ran third in Saturday’s heat, is second overall and only two points behind Brywinsmagicpotion on 18 points, making Sunday’s final a two horse shoot-out for the trip to Perth.
Brywinsmagicpotion, is a winner of numerous Free-for-alls, and victor in the last 2013 chapter of the Billy Williams FFA. Bred in Wales, Scottish owned and trained in North Yorkshire, ‘BMP’ is a true traveller and will be seen wherever the opportunity takes him.
Meadowbranch DJ, is the great Irish hope, owned by Meadowbranch Stud and handled by top driver John Richardson. Meadowbranch DJ is a multiple FFA winner who’s been set for the series and will be improved by recent racing.
The series so far has produced three track records, with Astounding lowering the York mark with his Victory.
Points are distributed 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 in order of finish and the UK/Ireland Inter Dominion committee will early this week rule on what happens if the final points are tied.
There is set to be great support for the European invader, with a large tour group set to follow the Inter Dominion contestant to Perth.
