JJ Flash 2,135 Report post Posted January 21, 2021 The Wyndham Harness Racing Club will race on its home track this season after all, and the time-honoured Kindergarten Stakes will be one of the day’s features. It’s been confirmed that the club will race on March 31, following an approach to Harness Racing New Zealand to have a raceday at its eastern Southland base, after it was initially left off the schedule for the current season. The arrangement was sealed after the Wairio Trotting Club, based at Winton, agreed to transfer one of its race dates. At last some common sense and hopefully we will see its principle sponsor backing it as is historically been the case Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
john legend 743 Report post Posted January 25, 2021 Congrats to Wyndham for getting date back. Really only a small move towards sanity for the industry. It still leaves economic viability for smaller clubs in perilous state. Hopefully the new Minister of Racing gets out and about to the important grass roots of Harness Racing (instead of talking and sitting with those that can spend $5 or $6 million on yearlings. which is not getting true position of the racing industry.!!!) dkc 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
