Racing: National syndicate on cup

The TAB will run a national syndicate on the New Zealand Trotting Cup meeting at Addington on November 10.

The NZ Racing Board's Bill Colgan said such a syndicate was successful on the Harness Jewels meeting in May.

"The idea of the syndicate is that punters can get a share for a small investment of $5 or multiples of $5 and then be part of the action and excitement all day. It will appeal to a wide proportion of our customers and also attract new customers," he said.

Professional harness tipster Stu Bailey will again do the selecting for the syndicate.

Colgan said punters could buy shares in it from Wednesday.
