Huntly Livestock Exchange is the venue this Sunday for the sixth race of the Bendigo Athletic Club cross-country season, the Purtill’s Nursery 8000 metres Handicap.  The hot favourite for the race is Shepparton runner Tony Sait.

Sait placed sixth and was the first Veteran home in last week’s rich Flack Advisory Classic and appears to be finding his best form at just the right time.  Tony is unlikely to have it all his own way however with plenty of others, led by Greg Hilson and Austin Beamish, looking to upstage him and grab the win and the accompanying $250.

The senior race will commence at 10:30am and will be preceded by a Children’s Race over 1000 metres at 10am.  In the Kid’s race Isabella Ellis is hoping to hold off Ava Stewart and notch her first win of the season.
