WELCOME ABOARD – MUSCARA STANDARDBREDS
Addington Raceway and Events Centre and The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club are pleased to announce Stallion owners, Muscara Standardbreds of Philadelphia, USA are the new sponsor of the New Zealand Derby Group One $150,000 Race.
Addington are delighted to have the Muscara Standardbreds, made up of leviathan North American owner Joseph Muscara and his three sons Joseph, Robert and Mark who currently have three high profile stallions available at Alabar Stud in New Zealand associated with this iconic 3YO pacers race held at Addington on Friday, 5 April 2013.”
These stallions are headed by champion sire Mach Three – appropriately the sire of the 2012 New Zealand Derby winner, Fly Like An Eagle.
Alabar NZ General Manager, Graeme Henley is also delighted with the sponsorship announcement.
“With the evolution of our breeding industry, many of the leading sires in New Zealand and Australia are now owned in North America – a lot of the service fees paid by our breeders go off-shore. It’s wonderful news for harness racing in this country that one of the major recipients of this money is prepared to show its support for our industry and give back by way of such a significant sponsorship.”

NZMTC BOARD MEMBER JOHN MCDERMOTT SET TO DRIVE IN THE USA
The North American Amateur Drivers Association will host four Amateur drivers from New Zealand in a series of races against NAADA members in a driving competition to be held at three racetracks in the Northeast.
Races in the competition –dubbed the Kiwis vs. the Yanks– will kick-off at Monticello Raceway on Wednesday, September 5th and then move on to Yonkers Raceway on Thursday, September 6. The final races will be at Freehold Raceway on Friday, September 7.
“Drivers for the New Zealand team will be constant throughout the series of race. However the USA team will vary at each racetrack with the exception of Dave Siegel, who’ll drive at every venue,” said NAADA president Joe Faraldo.”Various NAADA members at each of the participating racetracks will be getting a chance to compete but Siegel, the gentleman who so cordially hosts our East Coast in the West at Cal Expo, will be a constant.”
According to Eric Warner Monticello Raceway’s director of racing, he will dedicate two races on the September 5th program for the driving competition. The same is expected at all the other venues, also.
Among the members of the visiting New Zealand amateur team is Gavin Cook, who won the World Cup of Amateur Racing in 2008.
Joining Cook will be other outstanding New Zealand amateur drivers; John McDermott, Danny Blakemore and Tim Sissons.
“The Kiwis were extremely gracious to us when they hosted the World Cup of Amateur Racing last fall, so much so, that we wanted to reciprocate,” Faraldo added. “We’ll certainly show them a good time while there here but I’m giving fair warning, there’ll be no favours on the racetrack.”
