Big week coming up for harness racing including New Zealand Cup day next Tuesday.
It is the fifth week of the competition and a link to the full leaderboard so far is posted below.
Last week saw some good dividends posted with the best winning dividend going to Jay Abernethy when he selected Lola Jones as his best chance.
Lola Jones won at Cambridge on Thursday night and paid $5.20 for a win on the tote.
The five meetings this week are Manawatu and Auckland in the North, with Rangiora, Wyndham and NZ Metro in the South
Note: Just a change to the format of the competition for drivers. In the event of any licensed harness racing driver winning a prize in the competition we can only donate that winning amount to a charity of their choice. A cash prize would contravene the rules of HRNZ.
