RED OCHRE MARES CLASSIC

Red Ochre Fillies and Mares Classic – 25th Anniversary
Dubbo Harness Racing Club | This Friday Night

Join us at the Dubbo Harness Racing Club this Friday night as the iconic Red Ochre Fillies and Mares Classic celebrates its 25th running with a big night of feature racing.

First run in 2000 and won by the Doc Wilson-trained and driven Candyrama, the $30,600 Listed Classic has become a highlight of the central west calendar. Every year since its inception, the club has run a stallion tender to help boost prizemoney, and this milestone edition brings a strong field from right across the state.

Travelling contenders to watch

• Limousine Cheeky (Michael Formosa, Central Coast): The mare is a last-start Tamworth winner and has drawn ideally in barrier two, after a trip of more than four hours.
• Charlies Ace (Troy Williams, Hawkesbury): The in-form mare comes from a stable enjoying its best season on record, with 57 wins, and has drawn gate three.

Three features, one night

The Classic headlines a program that also includes the Peter Lew Memorial and the Quambys Stayers Cup.

• Peter Lew Memorial: Ultimate Diva (Formosa), also first emergency in the Classic, and Blisses Best (Williams)
• Quambys Stayers Cup: Vincentius Maximus (Formosa), last week’s TAB Regional Championship Consolation winner, and recent stable acquisition Our Uncle Jim (Williams)

Whether you’re a longtime follower of the sport or after a great night out, come along to Dubbo to celebrate 25 years of the Red Ochre Fillies and Mares Classic.
