Hunter Cup - 5 February 2011

The Hunter Cup is Run over 3280 metres a Group 1 race, held in Melton, the home of harness racing in Victoria. The field included some of Australia and New Zealand’s biggest names in harness racing.

This year we were invited to attend the event, with seating and dining in the 'Sky Box' which is the premier location for viewing the races, directly opposite the finishing line.


We stayed at the actual track which made everything ever so easy. It was not even a 5 minute walk from our room to where we were spending the evening watching the races and having dinner.

Race 3 saw Washakie win, which is managed by Kevin Jeavons, who we met in Queensland and again at Melton at the Victoria Cup. He is also going to Christchurch for the Interdominion event and we expect to meet up with him again there.
