The early signs for harness racing in NZ are very encouraging with the best yet to come.

More strong YoY growth from the NZ Harness Code last week with Turnover up 17.4% and total active customers up 14.4%. Again critically - over 55% of all actives places bets across both FNL Meetings - vs those numbers averaging less than 35% last year ✌️.



NZ harness has an incredible abundance of junior driver talent

Congratulations to our 12 Junior Drivers who have qualified for the 2024 McMillan Equine Feeds New Zealand Junior Driver Championships in October. More here tinyurl.com/mtp47ztj

We cannot control the economic headwinds but we can adjust our sails. Double digit growth is outstanding

Last week total active domestic Harness customers were up 13% YoY, turnover was up 13.5% YoY, and we saw a continuation of a critical KPI - increase in customers engaging in multiple days across multiple regions Great to see @HarnessRacingNZ 's strategic plan paying dividends ✌️

Brilliant move @AddingtonNZ makes for a mega day … as big as it gets in Australasia, especially if Leap To Fame & Just Believe rock up as expected. @TracksideNZ @HarnessRacingNZ
