Press Release: Karaka Million Race Series

Karaka Million Hopefuls Chase Last-Minute Stakes at Ellerslie and Trentham

2016 Karaka Million winner Xiong Feng (NZ).
Two-year-old races at Ellerslie and Trentham this Saturday will give a number of Karaka Million hopefuls the chance to secure their place in the field for the $1 million feature at Ellerslie on January 29.

The winner of the Wellington Provedoring 2YO Premier (1200m) at Trentham will earn prize-money of $18,750. Even if the winner has earned nothing before this race, that prize would be enough to propel that horse (if eligible) into fifth place on the current order of entry – behind only Gift of Power ($110,525), Hasahalo ($62,000), Star Treasure ($33,150) and Talaria ($31,950).
