Mick Harvey takes the reins at Harnesslink — Continuing a proud legacy

Sydney, Australia – October 14th 2025

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve taken over Harnesslink, the world’s leading independent harness racing news and information platform.

Harnesslink has been a trusted source of global harness racing coverage for more than two decades. What John Curtin has built over the past 23 years is truly remarkable — a platform that gives the harness racing industry an independent voice, connects participants across continents, and celebrates the sport at every level. I want to sincerely thank John for his dedication and the foundation he has created.

My goal is simple: to continue and strengthen Harnesslink’s role as a voice for the harness racing community worldwide. Our industry needs positive coverage, open communication, and shared support across all sectors — from breeders, trainers, and drivers to owners, fans, and administrators.

Harnesslink will continue to deliver news, features, and insights with independence and passion — but I also hope to expand its reach, encourage greater participation, and shine a stronger spotlight on the people who make this sport what it is.

Harness racing has always been about community, hard work, and a deep love of horses. I’m proud to be part of that story and look forward to supporting the industry’s future through Harnesslink.
