Last weeks harness racing saw some good racing with many longshots getting home.

The ringaround had some good success with several winners and placegetters at good odds.

The best dividend this week went to Rory Mcllwrick when Burn Off won at Ashburton and paid $9,70 to win and $3.20 for a place.

The five meetings this week are Waikato and  Auckland in the North and Timaru, Invercargill and Banks Peninsular 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.
