Racing: Star-studded show at Matamata as top horses return to action

Matamata is hosting two trials for black-type horses tomorrow. Probabeel, the Horse of the Year, will take on a potential All-Star Mile rival in cult hero Elephant in the first trial at 1.22pm. Amarelinha and Markus Aurelius will be competing against Probababeels. The second trial features the return of last season's best juvenile Sword Of State against his stablemate rival On The Bubbles. The majority of horses in this trial will race at Flemington on March 19th. Public votes will decide the field. A$5m All Star Mile rotates between the three main Melbourne tracks and returns to Flemmons on 19 March.
