Ipswich F&M Series Heat
Ipswich Racecourse, F&M Series Heat
The aim of the Cannonball Series is to provide opportunities for horses which are suited to short course sprints in a series of races which fall outside the auspices of traditional race programming. It is also felt that the addition of a bonus, which is based on the winning time in the Final, would add particular profile and interest to the series.
The Cannonball Ipswich, F&M Series Heat Series comprises five heats commencing on 3 October at Kilcoy RC, culminating in a final at the same venue on 6 December. The additional venue utilised is Ipswich Turf Club, where the second and fifth heats will be conducted.
The focus venue wise would be Kilcoy RC as it is felt that it is ideally suited to short course racing and its 800m races invariably provide a good spectacle. Furthermore, an aim would be to restrict the NZ betting races to 800m starts hence there are limited suitable venues available for this to take place.
