Welcome to The Addington Harness Hall of Fame.
We aim to preserve the great moments of the past at Addington Raceway by providing an interactive virtual presence using the internet to reach millions of people world wide and our local harness racing industry here in New Zealand.
Harness Racing in New Zealand is one of the most popular forms of equestrian sport. There is nothing more exciting than owning and racing a harness horse.
Addington Harness Hall of Fame is proud to be a part of this wonderful club and venue and we will be there for many more years to come bringing you the great moments of the past and those of the future.
Enjoy your visit and thank you for supporting The Addington Harness Hall of Fame.
A record crowd of 35,000 turned out for the 1947 Final, run on a good track. Stormy Weather made the pace but lost the lead with half a mile to go having damaged a wheel. Bandbox, in the hands of Len Moriarty, took over at the far turn and came on to win well by 6yds in a 2.10.25 rate for the 13 furlongs.
