“We are thrilled to partner with Barastoc to host this series and add another element to our three key summer meetings in 2024,” said DTC's General Manager, Sam Fitzgerald.

“The Benchmark 58 races over 1000m and 1100m are always hotly contested at Dubbo, so we are delighted to be able to provide an added bonus to the lucky winners of each heat and the overall series winner.
