The Hayden Slot Auction a Huge Success

PRIZEMONEY for the inaugural The Hayden has soared to $231,000.

The huge hike for the race named after Queensland’s superstar cricketer Matthew Hayden came after some spirited bidding for slots in the race built a pool of $131,000. It will all be injected straight back into prize money for the July 15 feature at Albion Park.

The Hayden was created to find Racing Queensland’s slot runner for the world’s richest race, the inaugural $2.1 million TAB Eureka at Menangle on September 2.

The winner of The Hayden gets that prized slot in the TAB Eureka.
