Last year, the recently retired Rockinwithattitude conquered London To A Brick while another subsequent Inter Dominion champion (The Locomotive) was amongst the vanquished that night.<\/p>\n
The Group 1 $150,000 feature is designed for three-year-old and four-year-old trotters, a mobile start event staged over 2138m.<\/p>\n
\u00a0In short, the Great Square has quickly cemented itself as one of the premier trotting events on the calendar and connections throughout Australasia are keen to contest and ultimately, win the prized feature.<\/p>\n
The Great Square is scheduled to run on December 6 this year.<\/p>\n
Connections of many of the outstanding young trotters are starting to circle including Victorian star mares Keayang Zahara, Violet Stanford, Jilliby Ballerini and Maoris Mac plus the exciting Hoppy among others.<\/p>\n
But Ajay Volstead will fly the flag for the local brigade.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s very fast and obviously he\u2019s got a bright future. We\u2019re very much looking forward to the Great Square because it\u2019s been the target race all the way along. We could\u2019ve pushed for a start in the Triad feature but ultimately, we weren\u2019t going to start him half right,\u201d Weeks said.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously it\u2019s going to be a deep race, most of the top trotters are headed this way but we think Vinny (stable name) will more than hold his own. We\u2019re excited by the challenge, and it would be great to be the first Queenslander to win the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got all the attributes to be a good trotter, and the Great Square is hopefully the first major stepping stone moving forward. We\u2019ve got the Inter Dominion for the next two years and this is part of bigger picture; we aim to be competing in these features.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year, the recently retired Rockinwithattitude conquered London To A Brick while another subsequent Inter Dominion champion (The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":187487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-187486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/187487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
