Stawell Harness Racing Club president, Geoff Sanderson said the club was delighted with the offer from Hygain to launch the new `Sprint Lane' product at the cup meeting.

As part of the launch Hygain will give away of 20kg back of this new `Sprint Lane' feed to every horse entered in the cup day program.

``Hygain became a sponsor of our club this year and since a great partnership has developed. They are sponsor of the back straight, our trainer of the month and now they have decided to launch their new product at our cup meeting.

``They have also produced dust sheets for race sulkies and they will give these to trainers on the day as well,'' Mr Sanderson said.

He said Hygain was last week presented with the 2009 Victorian Export Award recognising their outstanding work in the development and export of their products in agribusiness.

``Hygain are the leaders in the horse feed supplement and equine food brands.

``This decision to launch their new product at Stawell will make our cup meeting one of the best we have conducted as we are also offering record prizemoney for the 2009 cup.

``We feel the new Sunday format and the offer of free entry will draw a huge crowd for this year's cup meeting.

``We thank Bryan Alderson, Andrew Soper, Gary Mussett and the team at Hygain for this offer to launch the new product at Stawell,'' Mr Sanderson said.
