RIVERINA will be strongly represented in Saturday night's Miracle Mile at Menangle - in the mini-trotters that is.
Five Riverina kids will take part in the mini trotters series on Saturday night that is split up over three divisions.
Wagga's Ella Smith and Junee's Cameron Hart will contest the midgets division on Black Babe and Chester's Lad respectively.
Forest Hill's Casey Cabot is only a newcomer to the ranks but she will step straight up into the big time and drive What's up Girls in the shetland division.
In the ponies, Junee will be strongly represented.
Molly Turton will drive Littlejohn, while Tegan Judd will be aboard defending champion Whispering Gypsy.
Hart will also compete in the ponies as well, on fastest qualifier Energizer.
Riverina Mini Trotting Club members are expected to feature prominently in all three decisions, most notably the ponies, according to Terry Judd.
"I think they can get the trifecta in the ponies, if they all go as good as they should," Judd said.
"But they don't always do.
"On form anyway, those three are going as good as any."
Competitors will come from as far as Queensland for the mini trotters event.
They will start behind the mobile and race down the long Menangle straight.
The ponies were put behind the mobile at Junee trials on Wednesday night in a bid to practice for the weekend.
Judd said it is a great experience for the kids.
"I think so, they're all pretty keen," he said.
"It's a big thing for them, they're coming from everywhere."
It is the second big event for Molly Turton, who recently travelled to New Zealand for the Kidz Kartz series.
