Sunday’s nine-race card has been transferred from Ararat to nearby Stawell, but will proceed with the same race conditions and start times.
Running from 11.30am to 3.47pm, the card drew 79 starters, who can scratch penalty free following the change of venue.
More money will be directed to breeders under a change to Vicbred first-win bonus allocations, which will take effect in Victoria from October 13.
Victorian hobby trainer Peter Wallis has broken a 28-year drought from the winner’s circle, preparing five-year-old gelding Orch (Lincoln Royal) to a victory at the Melton harness racing meeting on Friday night (Sept 26).
