The Inglis Race Series features on the first day of the historic Swan Hill three-day carnival this Friday.

On a big program of racing which includes the running of the Golden Topaz, for the first time at the Swan Hill Cup carnival a rich $50,000 Inglis Bonus is on offer for two-year-olds.

The $50,000 bonus will be paid by Inglis to connections should the winner of the Elvstroem Classic for 2YOs over 1300m be nominated to the Inglis Race Series.

Over $68,000 is on offer as the rich first place prize with the combined $50,000 Inglis Bonus and race prizemoney.

Ten horses in the field of 11 are eligible to receive the $50,000 Inglis Bonus and will be identified by wearing an Inglis blue saddlecloth.

Caulfield trainer Tony Vasil, who has trained three progeny of Circles Of Gold in Elvstroem, Haradasun and Altius, to win this race at their first career starts, has Under The Leaner set for this year's event.

The Strada gelding goes into the race second-up following a second placing behind the unbeaten Clinton Affair at Donald, and he also will be in Friday's line-up.

Also vying for the cash is the impressive Churchill Downs filly Clinking.

From the stable of Anthony Cummings, the filly was ultra-impressive scoring by four lengths at Sandown last Saturday.
