The best of the best will be celebrated at the NZB Standardbred Harness Racing New Zealand annual awards at Addington Raceway tonight.
A sold out crowd of more than 300 is expected to pack out the Christian Cullen Lounge, with doors opening at 5.15 pm and the first of the evening's awards set down for 6pm.
It promises to be a huge night, culminating in the naming of Horse of the Year just before 10pm.
There will be updates on hrnz.co.nz and hrnz's social media channels throughout the evening.
Doing a friend a favour paid winning dividends for trainer Alister Black when Cruise Maguire produced a sparkling winning debut at Ascot Park on Wednesday.
