The 2010 Kingston Town Classic Day will light up the famous Ascot Racecourse in Perth this Saturday December 4th, as the third and final meeting of the mini Festival of Perth Racing.
A sensational race card featuring nine quality events make up the Perth Summer Racing Carnival meet, the highlight of the day being the $500,000 Group 1 Kingston Town Classic (1800m) scheduled as Race 7.
The 2010 Kingston Town Classic originally drew a final field of 16 acceptors but following the early scratching of #3 Luen Yat Forever and #8 Almohad, there are now 14 horses set to line-up on Saturday.
Leading the Kingston Town Classic odds is Neville Parnham’s star three-year-old Playing God paying $4.20 at Luxbet with Famous Roman the current second elect at $7.
