Funds raised by the upcoming 2025 Terang Stallion Tender will be used to either build a proposed new training centre at Dalvui Raceway or to complete works at the existing stabling block at the track.
“We’re hoping to attract new trainers to Terang to come and work their horses on our track,” Terang Harness Owners, Trainers and Supporters Group committee member Marg Lee said.
“The response from studs donating stallion services for the Tender have been unbelievable.”
The Terang Stallion Tender has attracted services from 18 highly credentialled stallions – 13 pacers and five trotters.
The Stallion Tender will open on September 9 at 8am and conclude on September 23 at 5pm.
The process will be conducted on line and can be accessed at https://app.galabid.com/terangstalliontender
