Award winner has trainer excited for racing return

Well Defined (Majestic Son) has Shelbourne harness racing trainer Kate Hargreaves excited ahead of his return in this Saturday’s Graeme Maher Memorial Trot (2240m) at Melton.

Last year’s undisputed country cups king has not raced since his fourth placing in this year’s Group 2 Horsham Trotters Cup on March 14.

His return will come six days after Hargreaves accepted the trophy for Well Defined’s Maori’s Idol Trotting Championship win at Harness Racing Victoria’s Horse of the Year Awards last Sunday.

It was a reward for a prolific 2021 season, highlighted by the then six-year-old’s five country cup wins at Ararat, Terang, Boort, Wangaratta (run at Shepparton) and Mildura.

He was also placed in cups at Cobram, Charlton, Horsham, Warragul and Gunbower and fourth in two others.
