This year, Bendigo race on a Friday night, with the new time slot a result of feature race re-scheduling across Australia.
February 17 will see both the Group 2 Petstock Bendigo Pacing Cup and the Group 1 Aldebaran Park Maori Mile, contested.

There have been 52 winners of the Bendigo Pacing Cup since Kalamas Peak , trained and driven by legendary Jack Moore of Maryborough won in 1965.

But there were seven winners of the original Bendigo Cup, run at the Epsom Racecourse of the Bendigo Jockey Club, and they will be recognised and added to the list, making 59 Bendigo Cup winners.

Until recently it was thought that Kalamas Peak was the first winner of the Bendigo Pacing Cup.
Research, and valuable information from John Peck, the Classicfamilies website, and the Bendigo Advertiser of the day has confirmed that Kinnie Bazil was the first winner, at the inaugural race meeting of the Bendigo Trotting Club, formed in 1923.
Incredibly, there were four cups conducted at the Bendigo Jockey Cub track at Epsom in 1924.
The original Bendigo Trotting Club went into recess after the 1932 cup.

One of the best races I've seen this season. Full of intrigue, in many good ways, from the barrier draw to the end. Ok, drivers/connections stretched the COT rules but....

Btw, Not sure if M Purdon crucified Lazarus taking off around the bend but what's with the music at the end of the video replay?!
