Extended circuit recommended
A recommendation that the present Australian Grand Circuit be expanded to take in the New Zealand and Auckland Cups was passed at “Conference 2000,” a meeting of Inter-Dominion Championship host club representatives held in Melbourne last week.
This action would, it was felt, provide for an Inter-Dominion circuit and would effectively increase the present Grand Circuit stakemoney from $l.B million in 1986-87 to $2.5M next season.
The proposal was endorsed by the chief execu-
tive officers and marketing executives attending the meeting and it will be submitted to forthcoming meetings of the various controlling bodies.
The administrators believed that such an InterDominion Grand Circuit would serve as a major focus for public and media attention and would have considerable marketing and promotional potential. It was also believed that such moves would do much to' preserve the InterDominion series as the most significant harness racing carnival in the southern hemisphere.
