Countdown to a ‘Classic’ race

Fields are out and the countdown has gone up a gear as we build towards tonight’s Maturity Classic meeting at ‘The Meadows’.

It’s headlined by the Group 1 Maturity Classic (525m) and Group 3 Fireball (730m).

Since 1970 The Maturity has been one of the sport’s most prestigious races for young greyhounds and has been won by some of the all time greats. Early support with Sportsbet has been with Follow The Band and Container, albeit nibbles.

Splitting the two features on the card is a belting Free-For-All filled with big names, most notably Transponder and In The Hub who will jump side-by-side. It’s a cracker.
