HELLO AND WELCOME TO LADBROKES FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS FINALE SCHWEPPES RACE NIGHT. We have a fantastic night of racing ahead at The Valley. A strong field has assembled for the Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge Final, promising an exciting conclusion to the series. Shirshov’s time of 54.45, equalling the track record over 955m, will be tough to beat. Having also recorded last season’s fastest time, Shirshov remains the benchmark, and if tonight’s runners can’t better 54.45 seconds, his new trainer, Phillip Stokes, will claim the $55,000 winner’s cheque courtesy of our Principal Partner, Ladbrokes. The Orbit Logistics Valley Summer Sprint Series Final and The Powerflo Solutions Valley Summer Middle Distance Series Final are also on the card. Thank you to everyone who participated in Cheering For Charity this season. The Cheering For Charity saddlecloth has saluted five times so far, and we’re hoping for a sixth win tonight in support of Breast Cancer Network Australia. The Club is proud to continue its association with BCNA. The MVRC artwork auction is running this evening. Racegoers can visit the Inner Circle on Level 3 of the grandstand to view the artwork and place a bid. The auction runs until Saturday, 22 March. Thank you for your support throughout the Ladbrokes Friday Night Lights season. I look forward to seeing you back here for Group 1 racing on 3 Point Motors William Reid Stakes Day.
