running of the bulls
After witnessing yesterday’s inaugural edition, I’m a slot race convert.
Harry Coffey teamed with a powerhouse stable to win the Caulfield Cup and he’s doing the same with his quest to harness racing’s newest slot race, the $125,000 Running of the Bulls at Birchip on Sunday.
The stage is set for Victoria’s first harness slot race, with horses declared for Sunday’s inaugural Running of the Bulls feature at Birchip.
There is a lot more at stake than just the prizemoney for the 11 runners in Friday night’s Ararat Pacing Cup.
The Caulfield Cup-winning hoop and his family are among the successful applicants for the sport’s very first slot race in Victoria.
The first edition of the race will be held on Sunday, March 8 next year.
What an exciting day March 8 next year will be at Birchip.
Birchip, a town famous for its bull and Australia’s best vanilla slice, is now home to Victoria’s first harness slot race.
Gareth Hall, Darren Carroll and Tim O’Connor discussed the new Running of the Bulls slot race and dived deep into the Group 1 card at Melton on the Friday Form Panel.
