Owners and trainers to get bonuses

There will be plenty of prizemoney and bonuses on offer across the two upcoming Warragul harness racing meetings on Monday, March 23 and Easter Sunday, April 5.

The highlight is of course the Easter Sunday meeting, with the Downtowner Warragul Pacing Cup taking centre stage.

Worth $25,275, the event is again staged as a mobile start, with Warragul club officials looking forward to a strong field and fast times on their refurbished track.

On all races on Warragul Cup day, trainers of the first three placegetters will receive Winning Formula products, and horse feed donated by Hygain.

All trainers in each race will also go into a lucky random draw for a sulky dustsheet donated by Hygain.

The C2 to C4 pace carries a Victorian Harness Racing Sports Club owners' bonus of $1500 should the winner be a financial member of the Association.

Other highlights on the Cup day card include the $10,505 Eddie Evison Memorial Trotters Cup, the Warragul Guineas and a heat of the Vicbred Platinum Mares Championship.

Trainers who also support the March 23 meeting will be able to compete in two other feature events which will be decided on Cup day.

The Ken Miller Memorial race is for C0 class horses which have won no more than two races.

Heats are on March 23 with the $8775 Final on Easter Sunday which also has a trophy and rug to the winning connections.

Courtesy of the generous support of the Warragul and District Light Harness Club and Dooza Engineering, a Dooza race sulky will be given away to one lucky trainer who has a starter in the Ken Miller Memorial Final.

Each trainer in the Final will receive one ticket in a random draw – so you don't have to win the Final to win the sulky! The draw will take place on course on Easter Sunday.

Also on March 23 heats of a C1 pace will be staged into a Final worth $7275 on Easter Sunday.

With over $130,000 in stakes given away across the two meetings, the Warragul Harness Racing Club encourages trainers and drivers to experience the smooth ride on the new Warragul Pacing Bowl over the next few weeks.
