This Saturday night January 16 the big feature pacing race will be held in Victoria, the $50 000 Group 2 Integrating Technology Bendigo Cup (2650m).
Dedicated driver Brian Gath is attempting his second Bendigo Cup win with the Tony Peacock-trained Power Of Tara starting from barrier four.
Peacock also has Ohoka Nevada entered in the event, having drawn worse off than their stablemate with barrier seven.
Two other top pacers have drawn ideally, the Gavin Lang trained and driven Horsham Country Cup runner-up Sammy Maguire in br.1 and Geoff Webster’s Mister Swinger in br. 2.
Webster also trains Tear It All Away, the first emergency gaining a start from barrier three with Craig Demmler behind the reigns as Webster drives Mister Swinger.
The star studded field continues with Inter-Dominion champion Mr. Feelgood, the American pacer’s chances only tainted by his wide barrier 11 start.
The Bendigo Cup is set as race seven on the cracker nine-race programme and is due to start at 9:30pm (VIC time).
