A new harness racing series aimed at increasing returns to participants at the grassroots level twice per-month will get under way at Albion Park Harness Racing Club from Saturday, January 13.
The Kevin and Kay Seymour Aspirational Series provides the opportunity for trainers who haven’t tasted recent ‘feature race’ success to compete for $15,000 at Albion Park.
There will be two (2) race categories each month for three months, restricted to trainers who have not:
- Trained or driven the winner of a race worth more than $10,999 in the past two years or;
- Trained or driven the winner of more than three races worth more than $10,999 in the past two years.
The concept is the brainchild of harness racing benefactor Kevin Seymour AM and wife Kay Seymour, who will provide a three-month sponsorship of the series.
