Australasia’s finest pacers will descend on Gloucester Park over the next fortnight as part of the 2012 V75 Inter Dominion Championship.
Local favourite Im Themightyquinn heads up a strong field including Victorian rival Smoken Up, Mr Feelgood from New South Wales and New Zealand pacers Auckland Reactor and Raglan.
The 2012 V75 Inter Dominion Championship will feature three nights of qualifying heats with the top nine point scorers qualifying for the $1million grand final on Friday, March 2.
The first ever Inter Dominion Championship was held in Perth in 1936 and was the brainchild of West Australian harness racing identities James Brennan and JP Stratton.
The 2012 championship will mark the 13th occasion the series has been held in Perth, which is more times than any other Australian city.
Organisers expect more than 40,000 people through the gates at Gloucester Park during the four meeting series, including more than 2,000 visitors from interstate and overseas.
As well as all the action on the track, fans will be treated to live entertainment including performances by Darryl Braithwaite on the opening night, Friday, February 17 and Perth band Gyroscope after the grand final.
Heats will be held on February 17, 20 and 24 with the grand final on March 2.
