Racing Sharks VIP Tips Package:
The race has an interesting twist, with members of the public able to be involved. Punters are allowed to buy $5 sweepstake tickets, with 14 winning ticket holders drawn in early September. Those who are chosen are then able to select a runner to race in their entry, something which Racing New South Wales is able to help with. Terms are agreed upon with horse owners and then the field is settled.
2019 Kosciuszko winner Handle The Truth ran 1:08.21 to claim victory in what was an impressive effort. It was less than a second behind Yes Yes Yes’ 1200m Randwick track record, which stands at 1:07.32.
