Two horses have been confirmed as starters in regional Australia’s equal richest slot race, the $1 million Golden Saddle.
Bravo Centurion and Final Siren are the first sprinters to occupy slots in the 1200m race to be held on October 4 at Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia.
A winner of the Listed Crawford Stakes and the Group 3 Prince Of Wales Stakes last season, the Luke Fernie-trained Bravo Centurion will run from the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Racing Club’s (KBRC) slot.
The KBRC has launched an innovative raffle in conjunction with its slot, offering the winner $20,000 and a percentage share of Bravo Centurion’s prize money earnings.
Final Siren has been snapped up for the slot held by Morton Racing and RAM Racing.
