Congratulations to Harness Racing New Zealand – they have split the Harness Racing Weekly into (1) a more user focused update and (2) a monthly glossy magazine with great production values along the lines of Hoofbeats.
In the monthly magazine called “Harnessed” there is a section that focuses on breeders’ issues and news, and that has more or less taken over from Breeding Matters (and again that will be a more user focused information newsletter).
I will have a regular article in the new magazine, which will start by looking back at some good races 10 and 20 years ago, and see what has happened to the breeding careers of the fillies and mares who featured in them.
The first issue of Harnessed magazine excited me because it presents harness racing in a very professional way, and with a range of articles that even the casual supporter would find “a good read”.
With over 100 pages, it is much more than a quick flick.
The subscription rates are available here but I would suggest like most magazines the online sub is the best option if you are not someone who wants the handle the very professional magazine itself.
Well done to all those involved, including HRNZ and the NZSBA for launching this industry flagship.
