SKY TO BROADCAST INTER DOMINION LIVE

HARNESS racing’s showpiece event, the $1.1 million TAB Inter Dominion Pacing and Trotting Championships series, will be shown live for the first time on Sky Thoroughbred Central.

Sky’s flagship channel will show full coverage of the three Inter Dominion rounds of heats at Tabcorp Park Menangle, Gold Crown Paceway Bathurst and Newcastle International

Paceway from Saturday, November 27, culminating with the grand finals on Saturday night, December 11 at Menangle.

Harness Racing NSW chief executive John Dumesny said broadcasting the Inter Dominion to a wider audience was the key element in securing the partnership with Tabcorp and Sky.

“We’re indebted to David Attenborough and Adam Rytenskild for the Tabcorp sponsorship, John Vellis and the Sky management team for continuing to support harness racing in NSW and, importantly, Peter V’landys and Racing NSW, which exclusively provides the thoroughbred content for Sky Thoroughbred Central allowing this neverbefore broadcast opportunity for harness racing,’’ Dumesny said.

The return of crowds to the track will be complemented by the broadcast.
