ABOUT US
As a result of the keen interest of locals in harness racing, Mr C Archer convened a public meeting on 28 August 1946. At this meeting it was agreed to form the Rangiora Trotting Club (later renamed Rangiora Harness Racing Club).
The club held its first totalisator meeting in 1948.
Today the Rangiora Harness Racing Club (Inc) is one of New Zealand’s leading harness racing clubs and holds permits from the New Zealand Racing Board to run totalisator race meetings.
The meetings are held at Rangiora Raceway during the daytime, usually during the weekends.
NEWS
Disappointingly, our race day on 5 March had to be abandoned. There was substantial rain overnight and it continued through the morning. The RIB inspected the track and discussed the situation with the track management, mobile driver and horsemen. It was considered racing without the mobile, but the rain intensified causing some areas on the track to become dangerous.
HRNZ endeavoured to find a suitable replacement date, but with the current programme being quite congested, there were no dates available and the meeting has been lost.
The Club continues to await a decision on their future after presenting their case to the HRNZ Board.
Please see the attached portion of the Sapere Report that refers to Rangiora Harness Racing Club, along with an overview of our intentions.
