After a brief break, the highly-popular Metro Trotting and Pacing Series is back.

The first heats of the latest series, worth $20,000, will be held for both gaits as part of the Magness Benrow and IRT Sires’ Stakes Finals night at Alexandra Park on Friday night.

A second round of heats will be held on May 23.

The series is for horses rated up to and including R54 and/or horses with up to two lifetime wins.

Heat wins will be penalty free with the first four home in each automatically qualifying for the $35,000 Final to be held on Friday, May 30.

There will also be further series over the next two months, culminating in the Finals on Friday, June 27 and Friday, July 25.

The Metro series is a key part of the Look North strategy launched last year to reinvigorate racing in Auckland and Cambridge.

The last round of Heats and Finals was held in March with Eyre I Will, trained by Jeremy Young, taking out the Trotters Final with Brian and Gareth Hughes training the quinella in the Pacing Final with Runkle Crunch and Carrera Hombre.
