Trelawney boosts Foxbridge stake
PA Hamilton The Foxbridge Plate, feature event at the Waikato Racing Club’s meeting on August 20 at Te Rapa, has had a last minute but very worth-while stake increase. Through sponsorship from Trelawney Stud, Cambridge, the stake has been raised $6OOO from last year to $22,000. The Foxbridge Plate will again be at weight-for-age over 1400 m. It is appropriate that the Trelawney Stud should be associated with the Foxbridge Plate, the long estabished and famous stud having stood the former outstanding stallion after which the Te Rapa race is named.
Some of New Zealand’s most famous gallopers have won the Foxbridge Plate since Mainbrace took the first one in 1950.
The race used to be run over 200 m at the Waikato Racing Club’s cup meeting in November and it was an important event. However, it lost its Group Three status two seasons ago. “With the assistance of the Otway family, proprietors of the Trelawney Stud, the Waikato Racing Club is to make every effort to have the Foxbridge Plate reinstated as a group race,” the club’s secretary, Mr Tony Enting, said yesterday.
