Big Sunday of trots

YOUNG Trafalgar horsewoman Tamie Frith will be seeking her biggest success in trotting at the Warragul Pacing Cup meeting this Sunday at Logan Park.
The Frith-trained Bettor Biaggi will start in the rich Ken Miller Memorial Pace event, one of the feature races on the traditional Warragul Cup raceday.
Bettor Biaggi finished second in a qualifying division of the Miller Memorial and will be one of several Gippsland horses to compete in the race. Frith’s partner Glenn Hunter will steer Bettor Biaggi in the race.
Eight great races will be staged on Sunday with the Miller Memorial, the Pacing Bowl Cup, the Eddie Evison Memorial Trotters Cup and the Warragul Guineas highlighting a program which will attract horses and drivers from right across Victoria.
For the trots follower, this will be the best day of racing seen at Warragul for the year.
For the casual racegoer, there will be plenty of off-track amusements to keep the crowd occupied all day.
Lucky racegoer giveaways and a raffle are highlights, along with Fashions on the Field which has attracted excellent prizes across three categories.
The Best Dressed Lady on course will also win the chance to represent Warragul in the statewide Harness Racing Victoria Fashions on the Field contest next year.
Live music will be provided during the day by Alroy, and patrons can relax at the outdoor barbecue or inside the first class clubrooms at Logan Park.
Koko the Clown will appear again for the children, and there will also be face painting, jumping castle and of course plenty of Easter eggs.
Adult admission on the day is just $10, with pensioners $5 and children under 18 admitted free.
Action kicks off at noon and everyone is invited to experience the thrills of local trotting this Easter long weekend.
