The Victorian, Tasmanian & South Australian Harness Racer is Australasia's most widely read industry-focussed monthly magazine.

Published monthly by Harness Racing Victoria, the Harness Racer has diligently served local industry participants and enthusiasts, and those around the globe, since August 1985.

The forerunner of the Harness Racer was the Harness Racing Board Gazette, which was first published in August 1951.

Originally mainly a program and statistical guide for Victorian licence-holders, the publication's centre of attention and appeal broadened greatly with the metamorphosis from Gazette to Harness Racer.

Interesting and colourful feature/ news stories backgrounding the equine and human heroes and heroines of Harness Racing, along with regular industry focused columns, began to keep those most closely involved in the industry more informed about issues which affected them.



These days the tradition has been maintained, but, as its name suggests, the Harness Racer is also the official periodical for Harness Racing South Astralia and Harness Racing Tasmania.

South Australian harness racing has been a feature of The Harness Racer since September 1999, while Tasmania is the 'new kid on the block' having joined in September 2004.
