NEXT GENERATION SPRINTERS SERIES This series for two-year-olds was introduced to showcase young up-and-coming sprinters and provide an opportunity to gain valuable experience up the unique Flemington straight. The intention is to contribute to the development of the next generation of Australia’s world-class sprinting talents. The series takes in heats at Flemington, Caulfield, Sandown and Swan Hill, culminating in the $150,000 Next Generation Sprinters Series Final (1200m) under quality handicap conditions on Flemington Finals Race Day, Saturday 4 July.
