Leeton secretary Joanne Punch has confirmed there are 40 horses still nominated for the Breeders Plate.
“Of the 40, seventeen are fillies, eight are colts and the other fifteen are geldings,” Mrs Punch said.
“All bar six have been named and there is a total of thirteen to qualify – trainers such as Peter Manning, Paul Kahlefeldt, Stephen Maguire, Col Thomas and Bernie Hewitt all have runners in this year’s series at this stage which is exciting.”
Heats for the Breeders Plate will be conducted on December 26, with the final being conducted on Friday January 1.
