The new Harness Million could attract the likes of Akuta. Photo / Trish DunellHarness racing is getting its own version of thoroughbred racing's mega meeting, the Karaka Million. The Harness Million meeting will see six races staged at Alexandra Park on Saturday, February 12, the day before the yearling sales at Karaka. "We all know how successful the Karaka Million meeting has become for thoroughbred racing and this will give harness racing that same focus to showcase our brilliant young horses before the sales. That is one reason the 2-year-old Harness Million races can't be held on the new Harness Million night because the horses would have only been racing for a few weeks.
