New race added to Ashburton meeting

A new race for the 2YO trotters has been added to the Ashburton Trotting Club's programme for the King’s Birthday Meeting on Sunday, June 1.

The mobile, for non-winners, will be worth $12,500.

"HRNZ is committed to providing ample racing opportunities for all horses and in this instance we identified a month's gap between opportunities for maiden 2YO trotters to race," says HRNZ's Racing and Wagering Manager Matthew Peden.

"Ashburton in a fortnight was the best option to rectify that so we have added this race to their programme."
