Two days left for Industry Excellence Awards nominations

The closing date for nominations for the Entain Industry Excellence Awards has been extended through to 5pm on Wednesday (May 21).

Originally nominations were going to close yesterday (Sunday, May 18).

Winners of the nine awards categories will receive $10,000 with finalists in each category receiving $2,000. The supreme winner will receive an extra $5,000 on top of their $10,000 category win, and a $5,000 educational package. These awards, for the under 40s, are designed to recognise the future leaders and rising stars of New Zealand's racing codes. 

Last year harness racing was represented by two winners, Jo Ferguson (nee Stevens) and Chanelle Dickie.
