Win a service to champion stallion Bettor’s Delight

The Western Australian Standardbred Breeders Association (WASBA) have opened their annual stallion service raffle for harness racing breeders across Australia and New Zealand.

The first prize is one of the best sires to ever visit the southern hemisphere in Bettors Delight USA 1:49.4 $2,581,461. Bettors Delight is without doubt recognised as one of the world’s best sires of all time. Along with his performance in the northern hemisphere, in the southern hemisphere he has been leading Pacing Sire in Australia and New Zealand from 2012 to 2022, and he has sired winners of over $500 million world wide.

Bettors Delight had numerous accolades on the track where he was a champion performer, winning the Dan Patch and O’Brien 2YO and 3YO Pacing Colt of the Year in 2000 and 2001. He also won the Little Brown Jug, Breeders Crown, Governor’s Cup, North America Cup etc.
