Trots

May saw plenty of elite trot action across Australia with four Group 1 events decided including the $50,000 Vicbred Super Series Finals, and now trotting fans are treated to another excellent month of racing in June.

Group trotting got under way last Friday night at Kilmore Tabcorp Park with the $25,000 Group 3 The Holmfield. The sprint feature was taken out by the $2.80 favourite Rostevarren who claimed an emphatic 5.1m victory ahead of Lance Justice’s Tuhimata Glass.

This Friday night, June 11, the great trotting action continues as the first Group 1 event of the month takes place at Tabcorp Park Victoria. The $50,000 Group 1 Victoria Trotters Oaks for three-year-old fillies is the highlight event on a bumper night of racing that also includes the $30,000 Group 2 Tatlow Stakes Final for two-year-olds and the $20,000 Group 3 Sundons Gift Trotters Free-For-All.

The following week the headline event around the country will be the $10,000 Group 1 SA Trotting Oaks for three-year-olds on Saturday June 19 at Globe Derby, and other trotting features that weekend include the $15,000 Emerging Stars Trotters Handicap Heats at Tabcorp Park.

The $20,000 Group 3 final of the Emerging Stars Series will then take place the next Friday night June 25, before trotting moves to Globe Derby the next night on Saturday June 26, for the $15,000 Group 1 SA Trotters Derby for three-year-olds.
