NZ Supports PTC Astro Sprint Trophy Meeting this Weekend
14 September 2007
The New Zealand industry is showing two-pronged support of the Penang Turf Club's Astro Sprint Trophy Meeting this weekend with sponsorship of the RM$35,000 New Zealand Breeders' Cup on Saturday and the RM$63,000 New Zealand Bloodstock Trophy on Sunday.
The Penang Turf Club's prestigious Group 1 Visit Malaysia Year 2007 Astro Sprint Trophy (1400m) will take place on Sunday afternoon, where Singapore's highest rated horse - Karaka Select Sale graduate Why Be - makes his journey across the border to contest the RM$1,000,000 prize purse. The Laurie Laxon trained five-year-old will be challenged by talented stablemate Breckenridge who is amongst the smart performers making up the 15-horse field for the feature event.��
