Nominations for the NZ Oaks

24 February 2015 – Harness racing nominations closed recently with the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club for the running of the 2015 Group One New Zealand Oaks at Addington on Friday 15 May.

At the time of closing 34 three year old fillies had been nominated for the prestigious event that this year carries a total stake of $150,000, an increase of $50,000 from 2013.

Addington’s Racing Manager Brian Rabbitt was happy with the number of nominations.

“The level of nominations was as expected for this important event. Our three year old filly crop this year is of high quality and we’ll be looking forward to hopefully carding a full field on 15 May.”

Any horse not nominated, may upon making the first late entry fee of $750 plus GST per horse become eligible.

This fee is due no later than 3pm NZ time on Monday 11 March.

A fixed odds book on the nominations will be released by Stephen Richardson and his team at the TAB this Thursday around lunchtime.
