Harness Racing NSW and TAB have teamed up in a naming rights agreement for the 2024 Inter Dominion Championships.
The partnership was announced today at a media launch in Newcastle (pictured), where the first round of heats will be held on November 29.
The heat rounds will then move to Bathurst on Wednesday, 4 December and conclude at Club Menangle on 7 December.
The ID24 series will culminate in a Grand Final night of racing at Club Menangle on 14 December.
It is the first time the Inter Dominion Championships have been held in NSW since a dramatic edition of the time-honoured series on the same three tracks in 2021.
As part of the agreement, all four nights of racing will be broadcast on Sky Thoroughbred Central and the Sky Racing channels.
“The Inter Dominion is the true test of speed, stamina, endurance and an exhibition of the absolute best in our sport so we are delighted to be bringing this event back to NSW,’’ says Harness Racing NSW chief executive Peter Buckman.
“We know that the Newcastle community is a strong supporter of not just harness racing but elite sport in general, so it is exciting to be launching the series there,’’ he said.
“We are thrilled to be once again teaming up with TAB for this marquee race event is and committing to expanded broadcast coverage on the Sky Thoroughbred Central channel.”
Australian rock icon Sarah McLeod will headline the trackside entertainment when the Inter Dominion Grand Finals take place at Club Menangle on December 14.
