Harness Racing New Zealand was informed this morning by the Racing Integrity Unit that the New Zealand Police were interviewing a number of industry participants as part of an ongoing investigation.
The integrity of harness racing is of paramount importance.
These allegations are serious and very concerning. The independent Racing Integrity Unit and New Zealand Police have Harness Racing New Zealand’s total support in addressing this and ensuring the industry’s integrity is maintained.
This is now a matter for Police and Harness Racing New Zealand cannot comment further at this stage.
