PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup
The PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup has grown into one of the premier events on the Victorian harness racing calendar. A leader in regional racing, Ballarat has long been regarded as having one of the best track facilities nationwide.
Upgraded to a Group 1 race in 2005, the now $125,000 event attained Grand Circuit status the following year.
Making it a truly remarkable race is the fact that it is the only regional cup in Australasia to boast Grand Circuit status; the PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup is one of the hardest races to win.
Among the past winners are the immortal Popular Alm, dual Inter Dominion champ Gammalite, dual winner Sinbad Bay, three-time Inter Dominion hero Our Sir Vancelot, modern-day great Shakamaker and last year's winner Mister Swinger.
Becoming better suited to the tag as the BIG6 Hunter Cup preview race, the PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup is a truly great racing spectacle.
