Grand Circuit winning driver Anthony Butt will make a rare appearance at Albury today. 

The 70-time Group 1 winner has four drives on the six-race card and will team up with Victorian mentor Brent Lilley in all of his engagements. 

Butt, who was based in NSW for some time before relocating back to Victoria, will drive Be My Girl, Roll With Eunice, Kyvalleyhoneybunny and Leer.

Meanwhile, fellow driver Adam Richardson will be looking to add to his record with two drives at the meeting. 

After driving a winner at Riverina Paceway during the week, Richardson took his tally of wins to 497. 

Driver Blake Micallef will also look to continue his good run after driving a personal best four winners at Riverina Paceway last Tuesday.
