Last weeks harness racing saw Geoff Knight take a commanding lead in the ringaround competition.

Geoff thought his best chance was Iodean which won at massive odds of $37.90 to win and $8.80 for a place.  

This horse was at even bigger odds of $81.00 and $11.00 on the fixed odds at tote close. Well done Geoff and that will certainly be a hard act to follow in the coming weeks.

The four meetings this week are Ashburton, NZ Metro and Wyndham in the south and Auckland in the North.

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.
