Following an announcement today from the Inter Dominion Event Committee (IDEC), that there will be no Inter Dominion in 2020 and ID21 will move to New South Wales, Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Chairman Dale Monteith has issued the following statement:
“Of course we would have preferred to host ID21 as planned after the enormous success of the event in Victoria in 2018, but New South Wales has reached out to HRV and asked for our assistance during a tough time for them and in the spirit of collaboration, we want to support the industry and one of our Inter Dominion host partners in this way.
"We have agreed to the rotation moving back one year due to NSW not being able to host the event as previously agreed this year, meaning that the ID will be conducted in NSW in 2021 and in Victoria in 2022.
"We wish HRNSW and Club Menangle every success in hosting the industry’s most prestigious event next year. We also extend an offer of support by way of passing on background information, learnings and IP gathered by our team during ID18 so that ID21 can be as monumental an occasion as all the industry hope it will be.”
