Purple, Gold Maltese Cross Harness Racing NZ

Purple, Gold Maltese Cross Harness Racing NZ THE HOME OF AVERILS QUEST AND HARNESS RACING! Welcome to the home of the MacKenzie Family harness racing team "Purple & Gold Maltese Cross".

Headed by Rod & Raewyn MacKenzie they have had great success over the years with many pacers including Rocket Averil, Averil's Quest, Saucy Star, Saucy Magic, and many many more. From the early days of Fidalgo through to the less than stellar success of Tracey Dawn (the horse, not the person!) and the export of Nicola Mary (again the horse, not the person) there have been many successes, much fun and many fond memories including the Road to the Jewels in 2013.

Harness Racing is in our blood

Welcome to the home of the MacKenzie Family harness racing team "Purple & Gold Maltese Cross". Headed by Rod & Raewyn MacKenzie. Both Rod and Raewyn have had great success over the years together with many pacers including Rocket Averil, Averil's Quest, Saucy Star, Saucy Magic, Nicola Mary, Babbling Brook, and many many more.

The early days of Guipure, Fidalgo through to the less than stellar success of Tracey Dawn (the horse, not the person!). The export of Nicola Mary (again the horse, not the person) there has been many successes, much fun and many fond memories including the Road to the Jewels in 2013.

Now as we reach into 2018, Rod is, in his own words ‘getting a bit bored’ waiting for the new ones to be ready to race. Averils Quest has had two Foals - and we are pleased to announce she has just been confirmed as pregnant for the third time. So another November baby here and hopefully we’ll see some racing soon.

In the meantime, Rod keeps a very keen eye on the current events in racing via Trackside and networking with the stream of friends, business partners and acquaintances he’s met along this path to success. One of the very honest, straight and upfront racing teams you’ll find about in today's racing - something that is unquestionably own to the ethics of consistency, hard work, and ‘loving what you do so it isn’t a job’.
