| History |
| |
The Australian Pacers Grand
Circuit began in 1977 and was designed to be the showpiece of
the Australian Harness Racing Industry with horses competing
from every State within Australia.
In 1992 New Zealand was
admitted and the Circuit was renamed the Australasian Grand
Circuit.
The best horses available are
brought together to race for very attractive prizemoney.
With the associated opportunities for promotion and marketing,
this benefits both owners and harness racing clubs as well as
the industry overall.
In its first season in 1977, total
stakemoney for the eight races forming the Circuit was $554,020.
The Trotters Grand Circuit commenced in 1999.
In 2012, the Grand Circuit was revamped with the Trotters
competing in a stand alone branded series, Trotting Masters.
Today total stakemoney has risen to a projected $3.6 million for
the Pacers Grand Circuit Season and $1.1 million for the Trotting
Masters in 2021.
Points are awarded during the
Circuit, 100 points for a win, 60 points for second, 40 points
for third, and so on, to last placing.
The horse with the greatest number of
points is crowned Australian Grand Circuit Champion and
Australian Trotting Masters Champion.
