Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 12, 2021 Journalists Share Posted July 12, 2021 Harness Racing New Zealand is pleased to announce the 10 Harness Racing ambassadors for this year’s HRNZ Blue September campaign. HRNZ is supporting the annual Prostate Cancer Foundation fundraiser for the first time this September. It follows on from HRNZ’s on-going support of Team Teal raising awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research. The 10 ambassadors for the 2021 campaign are: Blair Orange Brent Barclay Jonny Cox Korbyn Newman Mark Hurrell Matthew Williamson Robbie Close Todd Mitchell Zachary Butcher Zev Meredith For every win by an ambassador at any domestic harness racing meeting in September HRNZ will donate $100 to the cause as will most of the clubs hosting meetings during that time. Drivers Blair Orange and Robbie Close have also pledged $100 each to the cause for every win they have during the campaign. After supporting the Team Teal Campaign earlier in the year, Mark Hurrell was one of the first male drivers to come forward wanting to be involved in the campaign “My dad had Prostate Cancer last year so I wanted to be a part of the campaign and help raise awareness so that people go and get regular checks,” said Hurrell. The 10 drivers will wear blue silks with the Prostate Cancer Foundation logo during the month with the Clerk of the Courses around the country wearing white silks with the blue Prostate Cancer Foundation logo. There will be 19 race meetings during the month, starting with Auckland and Invercargill on Sept 2.
