Dubbo trainer Connie Greig looks set to dominate the NSW Country Picnics series with her 6 year old mare Black Hall Kitty running at Cobar tomorrow (Saturday 2 August).

It's the last chance for owners and trainers to earn points with their horses in the race to qualify for the rich NSW Picnic Champion Series Final.

The total prize pool for the Finals of $100,000 has further increased interest and competition over the statewide picnic circuit.

Prior to this year a $50,000 Final was held over 1400m, however, a $50,000 Final over 1000m will also be run on the same day.

The finals are scheduled for Sunday 28 September at Dubbo Racecourse.

It all began with Geurie back in September 2024 and has taken in 25 meetings prior to Cobar.

Points are allocated on a sliding scale with the highest being for Cup races down to the lower class restricted races.

With 12 starters plus emergencies for each of the Finals and some horses being turned out for spells or for other reasons, there is likely to be changes in the qualifiers after the Cobar meeting on Saturday and before the Finals at Dubbo.

Black Hall Kitty runs in the 1400 metre Russell Trophy Handicap on Saturday and is a recent winner at the distance on the Cobar track.
