Yabby Dam Farms has been confirmed as the naming rights sponsor for the Group 1 film for the next three years.
Last year the event was held as part of the new summer carnival, The Starlights, with superstar trotter Keayang Zahara storming home to win the third edition of the $150,000 race.
The Yabby Dam Farms The Great Square will return to its winter time slot in 2026, running alongside Racing and Sports The Rising Sun and the first heats for the Ladbrokes Inter Dominion on Saturday 4 July at Albion Park.
Since launching the class for three and four-year-old trotting stars last year, Keayang Zahara has since won the Group 1 Aldebaran Park Maori Mile, Group 1 Ladbrokes Trotters Cup and Group 1 Great Southern Star Final.
Previous winners Rockinwithattitude and London To A Brick have also enjoyed success at group level after taking out The Great Square in previous years, proving the race remains a hotbed for old trotting glory.
RQ’s Senior Racing Manager – Harness Andrew Clarke said it was exciting to see The Great Square return to the Queensland Constellations in 2026.
“Since its introduction in 2023, The Great Square has firmly cemented its place as the go-to event for the best trotters across the country during the winter,” said Clarke.
“A number of invitations will be sent to connections of Australia’s top square leggings, with the first runner officially announced early next month.
“The sponsorship of Yabby Dam Farms will also continue to help strengthen trotter breeding and racing in the Sunshine State.”
RQ, with continued innovation at the forefront of its strategic vision, will also announce some exciting new changes to the format in the coming weeks.
