HRNZ releases 2YO Winter Schedule

Harness Racing New Zealand has released a provisional 2YO winter schedule, starting at Auckland and Addington this Friday.

The schedule is for two-year-old pacers and trotters in both islands.

"The idea is to provide owners and trainers with a clear runway to plan campaigns through the colder months and into spring," says HRNZ's Head of Racing and Wagering Matthew Peden.

The schedule outlines over 30 race dates at Auckland, Cambridge, Addington, Gore, Wyndham, and Oamaru, with indicative stakes ranging from $8,000 to $30,000.

"It is indicative only at this stage and will be refined further over the coming weeks," says Peden, "but it still gives everyone a good sense of what 2YO will racing will look like until the end of August."

Details will be updated on the website as they are confirmed.
