All roads lead to Shepparton Greyhound Racing Club for the Pink Diamond meeting — which will carry more than $560,000 in prizemoney and breeding bonuses on Saturday, June 15.
But along the way there will be an historic stopover — also in the heart of the Goulburn Valley — on the King’s Birthday public holiday.
Monday’s meet will see a mammoth card of racing at Shepparton – for the first time in almost four years 13 races will be run at a race meeting in Victoria.
It’s the result of overwhelming nominations for both the Champion and Rookie Pink Diamond Distance Series’.
Sportsbet Sandown Cup finalist Drill Sergeant and last year’s Sandown Cup winner Korda are some of the notable names within the heats.
The meeting will kick off at the early time of 10.41am with five semi-finals of the Maiden Sprinter and Short Course to kick-start the card.
All eyes will be on Zeus Thunderbolt in Race 4 who broke the elite ‘25’ second barrier in his heat last Monday.
