Long-term supporter of harness racing Garrard’s Horse and Hound have been announced as the naming rights sponsor for night two of the TAB Queensland Constellations at The Creek. 

The Garrard’s Sunshine Sprint will take place on Saturday July 17 at The Creek, one of three Group 1 features alongside the new $100,000 The Golden Girl and The Darrel Alexander Trotting Championship Final.

The Creek CEO Scott Steele thanked Garrard’s for their ongoing support.

“The Garrard’s Sunshine Sprint night will see incredible racing at The Creek, with three Group 1s and three Group 3 features,” Mr Steele said.

“It is fantastic to have the industry’s biggest supporter Garrard’s Horse and Hound on board to sponsor this important night. 

“They have always been willing to give back to the harness racing industry and their support has been unwavering for several decades.

“This was recognised during last year’s Summer Carnival with Chris Garrard awarded life membership at The Creek.”

One of the new features of this night will be the inaugural running of the $100,000 The Golden Girl.

Together with the Group 3 ($30,000) Fleur De Lil Ladyship Stakes the week prior, the Group 1 The Golden Girl over the flying 1660 metres ensures lucrative Group racing opportunities for Australasia’s best mares and fillies and provides the perfect springboard into the TAB Blacks A Fake the following week.

Other features of the night will include the Group 3 South East Derby, Group 3 South East Oaks and the Group 3 Badcock 4YO Championships.
