Harness Racing New -Zeeland (HRNZ) today called on the formation of a dedicated Harness Racing Australazia pattern and Development Committee Working Party to better draw up Australia and the functions of Racing calendars of New Zealand and to strengthen the international status of the sport.
The working party would include representatives of Harness Racing Nieuw -Zeeland, Harness Racing Australia and State Jurisdictions where necessary.
The initiative, set out in recent formal communication with Harness Racing Australia, strives for a collaboration platform for coordination of group race programming, carnival -timing, horse movement paths and international engagement.
“Neither New -nor Australia is large enough to work separately,” said Hrnz Chief Executive Brad Steele, “to grow the relevance of Harness Racing on the world stage and to create more opportunities for our participants and fans that we have to collaborate more than ever.”
The working party will concentrate on:
Creating a uniform Australasian racing pattern, especially for group and listed events
Strengthening Trans-Tasman campaign paths for horses, trainers and owners
The development of joint strategies to stimulate international bet, viewers and investments
Coordination of broadcast and marketing to maximize exposure
HRNZ believes that a coordinated approach will increase the profile and the value of large breeds, provide more certainty connections in planning campaigns and long -term growth and sustainability stimulate
“We want to ensure that the best horses, the best racing and the best stories can be exhibited in a way that benefits the entire region,” said Brad Steele. “By working together, we can strengthen our reach and unlock new opportunities for the industry.”
HRNZ proposed a first meeting to discuss the structure and objectives of the work party, with a view to launching the cooperation in the racing season 2025/26.
