HIGH INTEREST IN NUTRIEN CLASSIC

Great to be part of a new-look series at what’s a new destination for trotters.

Yabby Dam Farms goes to the Nutrien Classic Sales Series preludes at Wagga on Tuesday (May 19) as major and naming right sponsor, breeder and owner.

Seven YDF-bred runners will line up across four 2yo and 3yo trotting preludes, which lead to finals  at the same venue on May 30.

They are:

HAMMER (Classic Connection Fra-Saint Etienne) 3yo gelding

THE FIERY DUCHESS (Classic Connection Fra-Duchess Ella) 2yo filly (also raced by YDF) - debut

BUMPER CROP (On A Streak US-Kinvara Sue) 2yo filly

SAN ANTONIO (On A Streak US-Falaise Madrik Fra) 2yo colt

RHAPSODY REIGN (Classic Connection Fra-My Valerie NZ) 3yo filly

Each of the 2yo finals (colts & geldings, fillies) will be worth $75,000, and the 3yo finals (colts & geldings, fillies) $125,000.

We also race The Fiery Duchess, which is out of 14-time winner Duchess Ella - the dame of We Can Have It All (4 wins) and Oria (4 wins).
