Northern Final to be held at Cambridge on May 15

The Northern Regional Pacers Final has been re-scheduled to Cambridge on Thursday, May 15.

Originally the race was going to be held at Alexandra Park on ANZAC day (last Friday) but didn't go ahead because of insufficient entries.

The Final will be programmed similarly to the Auckland edition but with a $27,500 stake and a lower rating limit of R45 to try to attract more intermediate grade pacers.

The race will still have a maximum back mark of 30 metres and be run over 2700m.

Horses will be eligible to start as long as they have been in one qualifying race, as opposed to the two starts that was originally proposed.

The conditions of the series have also been extended to include the two Country Cup qualifying races at the Manawatu HRC’s two-night meeting this week (yesterday and tomorrow).

The rescheduled Northern Regional Pacers Final will coincide with the resumption of Thursday night harness at Cambridge.
