With seven races listed on the days programme and over $7 M up for grabs, horse owners are making sure that their horses are in the best of shape and are taking no chances as they vie for the lucrative prizes on offer.
The feature B and lower event is expected to be a scorcher and with most of the top horses in the country expected to feature. A whopping $1.2M and trophy is available for the winner over 1800M.
