As part of the promised weekly review of the new handicapping system, Harness Racing NSW is set to change the previously advertised prizemoney for meetings conducted by the Penrith Harness Racing Club.
“An anomaly had occurred with the scheduling of Secondary Meetings which required immediate attention,” said HRNSW CEO John Dumesny.
“The Board endorsed the rectification of the scheduling as a priority which should comfort participants who had raised genuine concerns.”
The following meetings will now become Primary Meetings:
Thursday, 18 September 2014
Thursday, 2 October 2014
Thursday, 30 October 2014
Thursday, 6 November 2014
