Harness racing is heading into new territory next year, with the first ever meeting at Taupo on January 26, 2026. “We are all about growing our sport and Taupo as a hugely popular summer destination fits the bill perfectly,” says Harness Racing New Zealand’s Head of Racing and Wagering Matthew Peden. “We are very keen to engage with new people and we know that there is a real demand for more grass track racing in the North Island.” Peden believes the new initiative will be well supported by trainers, drivers and owners. The meeting will be run by Waikato Bay of Plenty Harness Inc (Cambridge). After being approached by HRNZ, Racing Taupo was very receptive to the idea. It will be the first time in its 60-year history that it will host harness races. “It’s a novelty for us,” says Taupo Racing Club President Terry Campbell, “it’s exciting and we will give it a try and see how it goes.” The January date is seen as critical. The meeting will be held on Auckland Anniversary Day, a public holiday in the region and it also coincides with Taupo’s huge annual concert weekend which sees thousands flock to the popular tourist town. “The challenge for us is to capitalise on that big crowd in Taupo at the time and get them to the races,” says Peden. The timing also works well for the Taupo Racing Club, according to Campbell, who was awarded a King’s Services medal for services to horse racing and governance in the 2025 New Year Honours “Our biggest meeting is at the end of December and then it’s a month before the next one in February.” Taupo often gets a big crowd at its meetings and prides itself on relaxed family-friendly race days . “Our best crowd on our Cup day is 5000.” So how does he think the idea of harness racing in such a galloping heartland will be received? “Not too many people know about it now but the committee all decided in favour of it,” says Campbell, “and it’s another string to our bow.” “I’m keen to get a mini grass track circuit around the North Island,” says Peden, “and hopefully this is the start of something.” View the full article -

Harness racing will be represented by three finalists at the 2025 Ford New Zealand Rural Sports Awards in Palmerston North on Friday, March 7. The country’s top driver Blair Orange has made the cut for the PTS Logistics New Zealand Rural Sportsman of the Year, the record-breaking Sam Ottley is a finalist for the RX Plastics New Zealand Rural Sportswoman of the Year and Next Gen driver Carter Dalgety is a finalist for Fonterra Young New Zealand Rural Sportsperson of the Year. Orange secured his seventh consecutive Drivers’ Premiership with 196 wins and over $3.5m in stakes in 2024, while Ottley became the first woman to drive 100 winners in a 12 month season. She’s also the first and only female to have driven 800 winners in this country. Dalgety had a stellar 2024. He became the fastest junior driver to reach 100 career wins and after winning a scholarship he travelled to North America where he won a number of races including a treble in Philadelphia. On returning home he then secured two Group 1 victories with Republican Party in the Invercargill and Auckland Cups. There are three finalists in each of the categories.

There are just two heats left before it’s determined who will make the $30,000 Seddon Shields Trotting Championships Final at Addington on March 21. The series, targeting R51-70 trotters, kicked off at Kaikoura last November and so far there have been eight heats around the top half of the South Island. The last two heats were at Blenheim in mid January. The final two heats will be at Westport on March 7 and then at Reefton two days later. A capacity field of 16 trotters will make the final. To qualify for the final trotters must have started four or more times during the series. If they win a heat, and have also had four or more starts, they will automatically qualify for the final if nominated. So far three heat winners (Masterly, Regal Sierra and Helloveamoment) have sealed their places in the field having met both qualifying criteria, and three others (Tu Tangata, El Conqueror and Eurokash) have also had four or more starts and have already accrued enough points during the series to be guaranteed a start. All horses, including automatic qualifiers, will of course need to be nominated for the final. Ready Set Jet, who won at Nelson on January 10, will qualify as long as he starts at both Westport and Reefton as he has had just two starts in the series so far. Three other heat winners High Step, Premium Player and Knowing Me have only had the only one start in the series so far. The qualification criteria for the Final has required clarification, as many connections believed they only had to win a heat to automatically be in the field at Addington. This is not the case.
