The Great Chase – supporting the disability sector – has been one of the sport’s greatest community-conscious innovations since its inception in 2003.
And it continues to get even greater!
This year’s Group 3 ‘Racing and Community Events Series’ is no exception and is poised for a great start with heats at Bendigo (500m) and Traralgon (500m) on Friday.
The heats continue at Sandown Park (515m) and Sale (440m) on Sunday.
Invariably, the Great Chase is a stepping-stone to greatness.
So, here are some of the aspirants with ‘great expectations’ over the coming days.
