All roads heading to $30,000 Seddon Trotters' final at Addington

Just who will contest the $30,000 Bob Rochford Memorial Seddon District Trotters Series final at Addington on March 21 has become a lot clearer.

The final two heats of the 10-race series were held at Westport and Reefton on Friday and Sunday.

To be eligible for nomination for the final, trotters had to start a minimum of four times across the 10 Seddon District race meetings across the top half of the South Island, starting in Kaikoura last November, and to have started in at least one of the designated qualifying races.

The final will have a capacity field of 16.

Under the criteria there are now 20 horses who have met that criteria, headlined by Regal Sierra, Helloveamoment, Masterly, Knowing Me and Premium Player.

Four horses who were qualifying heat winners - Maui, Ready Set Jet, High Step and Franco Josiah - have not made the cut as they did not have the required number of starts across the series.  

The final will be the feature race on the Fahey Fence Hire race night at Addington on March 21, with $16,500 going to the winner.
