Narrabri Harness Racing Club will host two meetings next week – a non-TAB meet on Easter Monday, April 5, then a TAB meet on Sunday, April 11.

It will be a welcome return of the sport at the Narrabri Paceway after last year’s non-TAB meeting was cancelled and the TAB meeting was moved to Tamworth amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2021 Easter Monday meeting will feature a six-race cards which includes the heats of the John Dean Memorial as well as the Santos Cup heats.

The April 11 TAB meeting, named the Carnival of Cups meet, will host the final of the Santos Cup and John Dean Memorial finals as well as the Narrabri Cup and a Club Menangle Country Series qualifier among other races.

“We couldn’t be any more excited,” Narrabri Harness Racing Club president Peter Shepherdson said.

“With all the rain we’ve had the grounds are a picture.”

The bar and tote will run as normal in 2021 and there will be no entry fee.
