THE Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) will present a bumper line up of races with the five day Sky Racing Summer Series heating up the track between November 24 and December 29.
The Series will feature five Saturday racing fixtures and 11 Black Type races.
Highlights will be the 1200m Group 3 George Moore Stakes, the 1350m Listed Lough Neagh Stakes and the 1615m Bernborough Handicap.
Punters will have a keen eye on the two-year-old races including the Phelan Ready and Calaway Gal Stakes culminating with the final Magic Millions lead up, the Bruce McLachlan Stakes.
The Summer Series has grown in stature on the national racing calendar over the past two decades with some of the stars of Australian turf claiming victories including Australian equine superstar Takeover Target, Queensland hero Chief de Beers, current 1350m course record holder Natural Destiny and Doomben 10,000 winner Mr Innocent.
