The big race fever will take hold early tonight when a special TrotsVision broacast kicks off from 2.20pm, with a host of feature programs and great Del-Re National A. G. Hunter Cup memories to be savoured.
In the build-up to the 5.55pm coveage kick-off, TrotsVision will feature Burning Questions, Insiders, Harnessed with Josh Jenkins and the Hunter Cup Preview Show amid memorable past Cups.
It will be a great taste of what's to come. All of tonight's Melton races, their build-ups and celebrations will show on Racing.com’s channels 78, 68 and 7plus and online at TrotsVision.com.au, continuing partnerships that also took October’s Victoria Cup and December’s Inter Dominion to all corners of Australia.
Ryan Phelan, Adam Hamilton and Michael Guerin will be joined by race caller Dan Mielicki and roving reporters Gareth Hall, Jason Bonnington and Shannon O’Sullivan for the broadcast, which is slated to kick off at 5.55pm ahead of the first.
“This is the biggest night in Victorian harness racing and it deserves the all-star treatment,” Phelan said.
“We are blessed to have a Hunter Cup field that shapes as one of the best races we’ve seen on Australian soil in a long time and I can’t wait to pick it apart and then watch on as the fun unfolds.”
The big races, including Captain Ravishing’s tilt at the Cogs Services 4YO Bonanza, will all be in the spotlight, including on Sky Racing, with presenter Brittany Graham to be on course for the last and first word.
Melbourne racing radio stations RSN 927 and SEN Track will both also have special broadcasts to take in the celebrations.
