TRSA has announced a fantastic incentive for owners and trainers to further the excitement of spring racing in South Australia.

Six individual race series have been created, each named after iconic South Australian horses to be held in September, October and November 2018.

Heats will be run at metropolitan, provincial and country race meetings throughout South Australia, with a final for each series to be held at Morphettville during the spring carnival.

Each series will be held over a range of distances to provide opportunities for as many horses as possible to qualify for the following Series Finals:

Saturday 20 October: $100,000 Rebel Raider Series Final (3yo) 1200 metres

Saturday 27 October: $100,000 Viddora Series Final (Mares BM 80) 1300 metres

Saturday 3 November: $100,000 Riziz Sprint Series Final (BM 75) 1100 metres

Tuesday 6 November: $100,000 Skybeau Stayers Series Final (BM 75) 2000 metres

Saturday 10 November: $100,000 Happy Trails Series Final (BM 75) 1400 metres

A sixth series, the $100,000 Alcopop Series, will be held throughout November and December with the Final (BM 75) over 1600 metres to be run on Boxing Day at Morphettville.

With a variety of distances, these Series are seen as a great initiative by TRSA to showcase South Australian racing while coinciding with the excitement of the Melbourne spring carnival.

Details of all the heats will be published in The Races Magazine and TRSA website.
