The final list of trotting drivers for the final of the Young Guns Series 2025 has been announced! The top 10 Victorian licensed drivers under the age of 25, based on season wins up to November 30, have earned their place in Melton.
These rising stars are ready to battle it out on December 31st for a chance at the ultimate prize.
The drivers will compete throughout the night in unrated races, with a sliding points scale based on finishing positions used to declare an overall winner.
The stakes are huge: the winner will take home a trip to the United States that money can’t buy, including an exclusive behind-the-scenes training and racing experience with New York powerhouses Shane and Lauren Tritton.
Taylor Youl secured the final position after her victory on Saturday evening aboard the Jamie Kirk-trained Rakajed.
“When Rakajed won, it was probably more of a relief than anything,” Youl said after the win that gave her the final spot in this year’s series.
“If a girl wins, she can compete in a women’s race at the Meadowlands in March,”
“It’s an unreal opportunity for the young drivers to be able to travel abroad and learn how to do things there.”
Ryan Sanderson, who claimed the premier series in 2023, is back to defend his crown and is currently leading Victoria’s young drivers to victories.
While customers will enjoy a great evening at the track, those at home can watch the action on Sky Racing, Sky Racing Active and TrotsVision.
