The trots’ biggest awards night will be given its biggest showcase on November 6 when the Gordon
Rothacker Medal is staged at Palladium at the Crown.

Tickets are now on sale for Harness Racing Victoria’s (HRV) celebration of its outstanding performers and
contributors, with offerings including considerable early bird and group booking discounts.

The night will be an opportunity to laud those who have separated themselves from the pack, with presentations including the Horse of the Year awards, country club awards and state and metropolitan premierships.

HRV Chairman Dale Monteith said it was also a chance to honour those often behind the scenes through
the Gordon Rothacker Medal and Pearl Kelly Award.

“The Gordon Rothacker Medal night is a fantastic opportunity to laud our participants who have toiled so hard throughout the season and achieved so much, as well as shining a light on the often unsung heroes of the trots,” Mr Monteith said.

“It’s a chance for participants, owners, breeders and trots fans to come together and celebrate all that is great about this sport. I encourage all industry participants to make the night as it will be special. The fact it will be staged at the Crown for the first time, the state’s centre for major events, will only further add to the prestige of the night and I’m looking forward to a great night of celebration, dining and entertainment.”

In addition to a three-course meal, beer, wine and soft drink, the night will feature live music among its entertainment, and will be hosted by TAB media manager Adam Hamilton and commentator Michael Guerin.

Those that book before October 1 will receive the early bird discount price of $130, a saving of $20, or a table of 10 can be booked for $1000. For tickets and more details click here.
