The big news of the week has been the announcement of our sponsorship of the new Queenland feature race, the HARAS DE TROTTEURS GREAT SQUARE.
To be run on July 8, it will be worth $150,000.
We are delighted to be getting behind a race which will do so much for the development of the trotting gait in the Sunshine State.
Queenland Racing chairman Brad Steele stated:
“The increased prizemoney for the three and four-year-old trotting feature is thanks to a generous three-year sponsorship by Haras des Trotteurs.
“We are grateful for Haras des Trotteurs’ generous three-year sponsorship which has been matched by Racing Queensland, elevating the stakes to a very enticing $150,000.
“There’s also a $25,000 bonus if the race is won by a three-year-old.”
Our principal Pat Driscoll: “Haras des Trotteurs is keen to invest in the latest star of the Queensland Constellations, which continues to shine.
“For the last few years, there’s been a concerted push as far as breeding and racing trotters in Queensland is concerned.
“Haras des Trotteurs has provided Australian and New Zealand breeders with the very best European trotting bloodlines in the world, including the incomparable Love You, Bold Eagle, Orlando Vici, Timoko, and Quaker Jet to name a few.
“Our mission is to provide quality trotting bloodlines, and getting behind this race for the next three years was a perfect match.”
