By Ray Thomas07:29pm • 26 October 2021 Comments Harness racing’s showpiece event, the $1.1 million TAB Inter Dominion Pacing and Trotting Championships series, will be shown live for the first time on Sky Thoroughbred Central. Sky’s flagship channel will show full coverage of the three Inter Dominion rounds of heats at Tabcorp Park Menangle, Gold Crown Paceway Bathurst and Newcastle International Paceway from Saturday, November 27, culminating with the Grand Finals on Saturday night, December 11 at Menangle. Harness Racing NSW chief executive John Dumesny said broadcasting the Inter Dominion to a wider audience was the key element in securing the partnership with Tabcorp and Sky. King Of Swing is favourite for the 2021 Inter Dominion Final to be held at Menangle.
