The overall winner of the local Match Race series will be guaranteed a spot in the State of Origin Match race series (SA V Vic) in September so long as it is nominated and eligible to represent SA.
· Nominations close Monday, 6th April with GRSA at 9.00am.
It will be a super nights racing which will also include the 2020 Easter Cup Final over the 600m as well as normal graded events which should be a fantastic programme of racing.
