ARRAN CHIEF MET MULTIPLIER’S 100th WINNER
May 30, 2016
Six-win trotter Arran Chief was the 100th winner of the Met Multiplier at Addington on Friday, May 27, 2016.
With a substantial total of 100 pacers or trotters having now won the Met Multiplier since inception in August 2012, means Addington has contributed $750,000 to this bonus scheme alone.

The Met Multiplier was designed to encourage trainers to support the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club (NZMTC) with a lucrative incentive for the connections.
To win the $7500 Met Multiplier bonus, a horse has to only start at NZMTC meetings a minimum of 15 times over a 12 month rolling period and be placed 1st or dead heat for 1st in one of those qualifying starts.
Addington’s Racing Manager Brian Rabbitt commented “the Met Multiplier has been a big winner for owners, trainers and the club. We have seen an increase in horse numbers and our starter numbers continue to track above the national average which is a positive result.
“Addington intends to keep the scheme going especially as more and more owners and trainers are seeing the merit in it. Last Friday Night was a perfect example of this because if Gunpowder, Aveross Brachole, Clover Mac, Here We Go Again and Donegal Jimmy Dave had all won their race they would all be receiving the $7500 bonus.”
