The Victorian Harness Racing Club (VHRC) and major sponsor Aldebaran Park are excited to announce an additional bonus of a $500 Breeders Certificate to Aldebaran Park rostered stallions to VHRC members who win any of the remaining programmed trotters’ races during the VHRC Super Bonus Race Series in 2021 (dates outlined at bottom of this article). 

There are still another 11 VHRC Super Bonus race meetings to be conducted between July and November and each winner of the trotters races programmed will not only take home the first prize stakemoney, but for VHRC members they will also take home an additional $1500 Cash Bonus, plus $1000 APG-APTS Sales Voucher, and now a $500 Aldebaran Park Breeders Voucher.  

Aldebaran Park’s 2021 impressive trotters’ stallion roster continues to support our local Victorian breeding industry with Skyvalley NZ, Aldebaran Eagle USA and Yield Boko SE.

The ongoing growth of trotting races locally, the new Aurora Australis series in Victoria, and the dream of breeding a champion trotter to compete at an international level means the opportunity has never been greater to try your hand!

Owning and breeding a horse in Victoria has never been more rewarding following the recent announcement by Australian Pacing Gold (APG) of a new race sales’ series, and the breeding incentive offers by Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) – ‘Victorian Breeders Bonus Scheme'.

"The VHRC sincerely thanks Duncan McPherson and Aldebaran Park for their vision to support our club in providing additional benefits to club members, also providing additional incentives to promote ownership and breeding, and most importantly supporting the growth of VHRC club membership, which now exceeds over 1600 members and is continuing to grow each month," VHRC General Manager Rob Auber said.

"With the recent announcement by HRV confirming the development of a VHRC Owners/Members Bar at Tabcorp Park, becoming a VHRC member now has never been more important to the growth of our industry."
