The greatest show on four legs…and two wheels

By Michael Howard (HRV)

Australasia’s greatest harness racing carnival reaches its crescendo at Tabcorp Park Melton this Saturday and entry to the greatest show on four legs and two wheels is free.

The SENTrack Inter Dominion has been a thrilling ride through three heat nights at Ballarat, Shepparton and Geelong, revealing elite fields of 12 to tackle the trotting and pacing championships.

Harness Racing Victoria interim CEO Fiona Mellor said it would be a terrific night’s celebration of great racing and community fun both on track and via the live coverage.

“It doesn’t get any bigger than the Inter Dominion; the build-up has been immense and the excitement at fever pitch, so it’s great that we are going to be able to celebrate the crowning of two champions to such a wide audience,” she said.

While the ID22 crowns, worth a collective $750,000, will be the night’s greatest lure, a momentous celebration will engulf Tabcorp Park of racing, live music, great food and children’s activities.

And after the greatest prizes in harness racing have been run and won the night will go out with a bang, with a fireworks’ display at 11.45pm.

Gates will open at 5pm at the Ferris Rd track and with the great night’s racing to begin soon after.

For those who can’t be on track, they can take all the fun in on free-to-air TV with the special, extended TrotsVision coverage to feature on Racing.com’s channel 78.
