NZ Harness Racing Awards

Predictably cleaned up by the All Stars with Spankem leading the way. Sundee's Son and Belle of Montana helped stem the tidal wave.

Nice to see the deFilippi's get rewarded for their service and Overzealous' win also recognised.

Canterbury couple Colin and Julie deFilippi’s forty year contribution to the industry was recognised when they won the Outstanding Contribution To Harness Racing Award. Julie deFilippi was also recognised for her work with retired racehorses when she was presented the Outstanding Contribution To Life After Racing award.

One of the most popular moments of the awards evening came when Overzealous won the Best Moment Of The Season Award.The trotter came back to win two races and run second in the New Zealand Trotting Oaks after being injured in a horrific road accident that left her trainers Margo Nyhan and Peter Davis with serious injuries.

Amazing effort to get over zealous racing again. Tough horse and tough trainers.

It was just that. The likes of Overzealous and UMC make harness mainstream,

A shame the lack of competition among the categories is so weak as it doesn't lead to any debate or interest from seemingly any quarter.

I assume it was in the same vain as BGP founder at the conference referring to some bodies making things too difficult to promote the sport .

Welcome back Martin, not sure what bgp guy said but I'm picking he never made a fool of himself unlike your favourite driver!
