Hawke's Bay is set to see one of its biggest days of steeplechases and hurdles in the annual Hawke's Bay Hunt races in Hastings on Saturday.
The winter feature and the second-to-last of Hawke's Bay Racing's meeting in the 2020-2021 season which ends on July 31, will have five jumps races – including the historic Hawke's Bay Steeplechase and the Hawke's Bay Hurdles.
There will also be a maiden steeplechase and two maiden hurdles races.
Hawke's Bay Racing had originally scheduled two of each, but added a second maiden hurdles to cater for an increased number of entries.
Racing aficionados could not initially recall how long it may have been since there had been five non-flat races on the card.
