Tight at the top in Seddon Shields Trotters’ Series

Evergreen trotter Boyz Invasion (Brylin Boyz) is currently sitting at the top of the harness racing leaderboard in the Seddon Shields Trotters’ Series.

Trained by Michael House and the only trotter to start in all of the heats so far, Boyz Invasion has 26 points after the seven heats and is four points clear of second placed horse Muscle Bank who won on both days of the recent Marlborough meeting in Blenheim.

In its first year, the series, run by the Seddon Harness Racing Group, has just two race meetings left, at Westport and Reefton on March 8 and 10.

Each leg of the series is worth between $15,000 and $20,000.

Points for each race are allocated as follows:

1st – 7 points
2nd – 5 points
3rd – 4 points
4th – 3 points
5th – 2 points
One point for every other starter.

At the end of the series the connections of the horse with the most points will get a bonus of $10,000, with $3,000 for second and $2,000 for third.
