American harness racing TV and media personality Heather Vitale is ready for a huge trip Down Under for New Zealand Cup week in Christchurch.

Vitale is a third-generation in the harness racing business, who presently lives on her family’s horse farm/Standardbred training facility in Harrington, Delaware.

Although she grew up enjoying the hands-on experience of working with horses, the licensed Standardbred horse trainer found her forte in the sport to be through the avenue of publicity.

With an army of social media fans she's using social media to report on harness racing to a global audience.

She not only brings a behind-the-scenes and fresh look at horse racing to the fans, but also a candid look at her life in racing. Her fun and easy-going attitude has made her Facebook Live broadcasts incredibly popular.

On her trip to New Zealand, Heather can not wait to get here,

I'M GOING TO NEW ZEALAND NEXT WEEK! How am I feeling? Well, I only said the word "excited" about 1,329 times during my phone interview with Jess Smith….so, yeah, we'll go with I'M REALLY EXCITED!

Heather told Harnesslink today she has quite a few stops planned when making her way down the country.

"I leave America on November 4th and I'll be in Auckland for a couple days to visit Alabar Farm Stud and Woodlands, as well as the Herlihy stable.

"Then, when I get to Christchurch I'm visiting Mark Purdon/Natalie Rasmussen All Stars Stable as well as Grant Crabbe (Breeder of Shartin) and former Cup winners Monkey King and Christian Cullen at Dancingonmoonlight Farm.

"In addition to NZ Trotting Cup Day, I'm taking in the action for the Thoroughbreds and Greyhounds during the week," she said.
