ydf 2yo classic - 8 days to go!

The countdown to the inaugural $75,000 Yabby Dam Farms 2yo Trotters Classics at Menangle is ramping up.

The colts & geldings, and fillies finals will be contested over 1609m on Saturday, October 10.

Nominations close on Tuesday, October 6 - with fields declared later on the same day.

There’s been some big-time performers among the 70-plus youngsters by Yabby Dam Farms roster stallions which were eligible  for the new feature at the start of the season.

None bigger than the unbeaten Verbici (Orlando Vici Fra) from the Chris Lang and Sonia Mahar stable.

He’s won seven races, including the Group 1 Vicbred Super Series and Group 2 NSW 2yo Trot Finals, with the latter giving him experience at Menangle.

Bumper Crop has also been an eye-catcher from the first crop of On A Streak US.

She’s won four of her five starts, including the listed Nutrien Classic Sale Final.

Chief Kenny (On A Streak) has been another to the fore.

Despite still being a maiden, he has had six seconds in his seven visits to the races - five in Group 2 NSW 2yo Foundation Trot heats and one in the final.

San Antonio (On A Streak) is another knocking on the door in good company with a third in the listed Nutrien Classic Sale Final.

Other winners from the juveniles eligible to contest the Classics include Queenslander Pozzi Tonozzi (Classic Connection Fra), Insulator (Classic Connection), Keayang Marcus (On A Streak), Kyvalley Diablo (Classic Connection) and Remembrance Time (Classic Connection).
