Arkansaw Kid, last month’s Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m) runner-up, is set to represent Lindsay Park in Saturday’s inaugural $1 million The Meteorite (1200m) at Cranbourne.
The gelding, trained by Ben, Will, and JD Hayes, was confirmed for the 1200-metre slot race on Monday.
Arkansaw Kid has not raced since finishing tenth in the $2 million Group 2 Sydney Stakes (1200m) at victory in the Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m) at Flemington in September.
The Meteorite is the first of two new $1 million slot races to be organised by Southside Racing in the coming month, with The Supernova (1400m) at Pakenham set for December 21.
