Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Friday at 06:49 AM Journalists Posted Friday at 06:49 AM New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) and Harness Racing New Zealand (HRNZ), supported by TAB NZ have today announced the launch of Project Stamina, a landmark collaboration to develop a unified Master Plan for the future of New Zealand’s racing infrastructure. This joint initiative marks a strategic shift from reactive maintenance to long-term, future-focused investment across both Thoroughbred and Harness racing codes. “We have reached a critical point that calls for bold decision making. Project Stamina is about making the necessary decisions to ensure our infrastructure supports a thriving future for horse racing in New Zealand.” said Matt Ballesty, CEO of NZTR. “I’m genuinely excited about the opportunity Project Stamina presents, not just for Thoroughbred racing, but for the entire racing industry. Working alongside Harness Racing NZ and TAB NZ, we have a chance to build something enduring and unified. HRNZ CEO Brad Steele echoed Ballesty’s sentiments and sees the potential in code collaboration. “This is a chance to reshape our future. Collaboration is key to creating venues that serve our people and our sport for generations. It’s time to build infrastructure that matches our industry’s potential, this unified approach is important given the ownership and use profile of many of our venues” Steele added. A key priority now is the engagement of independent consultants who will be central to the delivery of Project Stamina. The selected consultant will work closely with industry leaders and advisors with a target completion date prior of December 2025. View the full article Quote
