North Island

For harness to reach its potential, it needs to become a truly national sport.

Revitalising harness racing in the north is crucial for the long-term benefit of the entire sport.
Auckland is a key population and economic centre in New Zealand, but is under represented in harness racing and wagering participation, and this needs to change for the sport to grow.
