• Increases in base prizemoney levels across NSW;
• Growth in the support of major Carnivals and feature events;
• Uplift in the breeding sector;
• The TAB Inter Dominion Championships which took the Heats to regional centres;
• Dedicated broadcast of the Inter Dominion Heats and Finals on Australia’s leading channel SKY Thoroughbred Central;
• Wagering turnover surpassed the billion dollar mark for the first time;

The growth and health of the industry in New South Wales can be attributed to the stakeholders who have a positive outlook in taking harness racing forward off the back of sound leadership by the Board Members and a business strategy developed by the Executive Management of the controlling body.
