Harness Racing Victoria will again introduce restricted two-year-old races from February to create more opportunities for young horses.
When applying the same method last year, HRV’s Racing Department found that more two-year-old races received sufficient nominations when opportunities were condensed in the year’s early months.
HRV will once again program two-year-old races at central Victorian venues, where the category’s population is at its greatest, with pacing races to begin in February and trotting races in March.
Two-year-old races will be scheduled as follows:
- February 4 – Maryborough (pacers)
- February 11 – Maryborough (pacers)
- February 25 – Maryborough (pacers)
- March 6 – Melton (pacers and trotters)
- March 16 – Maryborough (pacers and trotters)
- March 30 – Maryborough (pacers and trotters)
