President Speech 2024
A true legend of his kind, the original ‘Outback Man’ of Harness Racing, Mr President Graham Sinnamon of the COTC:
‘It was a crowd that as an organiser you dream of. Nothing creates an atmosphere like this - and you guys created an atmosphere that I’ve hardly ever seen, on any other course in NZ… EVER.’

I’ve been fielding a lot of questions around BYO, so would like to clarify this matter.
Yes, you are perfectly welcome to BYO your own food and alcohol on Raceday. It is completely legal. BUT as always - we ask people to RESPECT this aspect of our day. And please ensure whether you BYO or have a beer at the bar, your sober driver is sorted at the START of the day.
There WILL be breath testing as you leave. There is a high police presence on the roads - both coming to and from the races.
If your going to loose money, we would rather it be on the tote on course 😂😉
So be safe, have fun and come support our Race day 🔥
‘A Jig-saw has so many pieces to it, and only looks good when it’s finished and everything is in place.’
