What urban area within metropolitan Melbourne, will the premier middle distance harness race of Australia be hosted at ?
Victoria Cup (harness race) The Victoria Cup is the premier middle distance harness race of Australia. Conducted over 2575m, rather than the staying distance of over 3000m or the sprint distance of under 2000m, the Victoria Cup was run at the Melbourne Showgrounds up until 1975, when it was shifted to Moonee Valley. In 2009 the SEW Eurodrive Victoria Cup will be run at Harness Racing Victoria's new venue, Tabcorp Park at Melton. The race has been part of the Australasian Grand Circuit since 1987. Conducted in February from 1987 to 2003, the race is now conducted over two nights in December, alongside the Australasian Trotting Grand Prix.
Breeders Classic The Breeders Classic is an Australian Turf Club Group 2 Thoroughbred horse race, for mares four-years old and upwards, at set weights with penalties, over a distance of 1200 metres run at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, Australia every February. Total prize money for the race is A$200,000.
