Whereibylong wins the Breeders Crown 2YO fillies final last year.

Heats eight and nine of the Bettors Delight @ Woodlands Breeders Crown three-year-old fillies’ series will be held at Kilmore tonight.

Heat eight (Race 5 on the program) will feature exciting Emma Stewart trained Whereibylong, who dominated the recent Breeders Challenge series at Menangle in New South Wales and is the reigning Breeders Crown champion after her win as a two-year-old last year.

Whereibylong is a 12-time winner from 20 starts and scored a 6.8m win in the Breeders Challenge Final last start, posting a winning mile rate of 1:57.6 (last half 56.1).

Meanwhile, Auckland trainer Barry Purdon will line up Rocknroll Arden in heat eight, the Kiwi making its Australian debut with Craig Demmler in the cart from gate seven.

The ninth heat will be the last race on the seven-event program and David Aiken trained Quick Draft will be looking to score a breakthrough win after recent close-up finishes in the Vicbred Super Series.

Quick Draft finished third behind My Bella Starr in the Group 1 Super Series final at Melton last time out after getting within 3.8m of Barynya in the semi-final the start prior.
