Ballarat is set to host its first race meeting on the upgraded track this Wednesday night, and kicking off the card will be a race for local trainers.
The criteria surrounding Race 1 – the $2,000 to-the-winner Ballarat GRC Local Trainers Special Event (450m) – guarantees that the first TAB race on the new track will be won by a locally-trained greyhound.
Favourite to win the race will be the classy Hurunui Hitman, although trainer Steve McKenna (pictured below) has his reservations.
