from Harness Racing Australia

Australian harness racing fans and punters alike enter a new phase of action this weekend.

Harness Racing Australia, in conjunction with Sky Channel and the TAB organizations throughout the country, will beam “Live” action from North America on Sunday morning. And it’s not just any meeting. The meeting being showcased is the $6 million Breeders Crown raceday from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Pennsylvania.

Races will be covered live on Sky2 with the first race scheduled at 8 a.m. (AEDT) while TABCORP, NSW TAB and UNITAB are wagering on 12 of the 14 races.

Heading up the Sky2 coverage is Bill Hutchinson and Gareth Hall who will provide an expansive coverage on this star-studded program.

This is a first for Australians to watch and bet ‘Live’ on North American harness racing and with good support could easily be the first of many more meetings to come.
