Happy Sunrise Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 The Cambridge version is on April 14 2023 and a new Aussie version at Gloucester Park is the same day. Does this mean Australian participation in NZ will be severely dented? https://www.harness.org.au/media-room/news-article/?news_id=54056 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facility's are brilliant but the track is in mho a dog. No passing lane , like a saucer, short straight. Yuck. Give all the horses a chance and race it at Menangle, or even Melton. Its further to race in WA than it is to get to NZ to race. What are they thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Sunrise Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 9 minutes ago, Globederby19 said: Menangle They already have one. It is getting a crowded market. On the bright side, it may be sharing around the big money, even they have to cough up to be in the race. THE world’s richest harness race, The TAB Eureka, gets serious today. Expressions of Interest for a Slot in the $2.1 million feature, are now open. The TAB Eureka will have just 10 runners, meaning 10 slots will be available. Nine remain with TAB securing a slot as part of its naming rights partnership for the race to be run for the first time at Club Menangle on September 2, 2023.

karrotsishere Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Oh yes also nearly forgot Im hearing Cambridge have taken onboard all feedback from last year & implementing into this years The Race. Eg More Bars more staff & a bigger better public area & more options up from general public at more affordable prices Remember when Karrots was having a moan on behalf of mates that attended. A massive line 1 hour long for drink. Good on them for being proactive & smart & listening to the people. Guess it makes some people want to give them another chance.

karrotsishere Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Intel is in. Absolutely not. Amazing nite Im hearing. Taken all feedback onboard from last year. A great time nite Im hearing. No complaints. Very very postive feedback. As Rusty & I predicted a couple years ago. Look out NZ Cup this could surpass you. Esp once new development is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Show Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 They've really promoted it this year on all media streams and run it alongside champions in the Waikato in other sports, especially cycling. I think putting it out there as a real sport, not just a gambling event, has paid dividends. It's like we are going back 20 years, when everyone preferred a night at Cambridge to the cold and sterile, concrete jungle of Alex Park and I hope that they go on from here with this level of interest. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
