6 December 2023
Harness Racing New South Wales (HRNSW) is pleased to announce its Annual Report for the fiscal year 2022-2023, highlighting a resilient financial performance despite facing a multitude of challenges.
The report, released by Chief Executive Peter Buckman, underscores HRNSW's commitment to the harness racing industry's well-being and financial stability.
The fiscal year 2022-2023 presented a challenging landscape, marked by global disruptions, inflationary pressures, softening wagering markets and geopolitical concerns. However, HRNSW navigated these challenges admirably, concluding the year with a comprehensive surplus of $0.453 million, showcasing our commitment to prudent fiscal management.
Key Highlights of the Report:
Operating Deficit Offset
: Despite an operating deficit before investment income of ($1.241 million), HRNSW leveraged investment income on the Future Fund, amounting to $1.694 million, to achieve a comprehensive surplus of $0.453 million.
Revenue Growth
: Total revenue for the year saw an impressive year-on-year increase of $3.939 million, demonstrating HRNSW's ability to adapt and thrive in a dynamic environment.
Wagering Revenue
: Unpredictable wagering revenue, with a 4.9% or $3.522 million rise from FY 2022
TAB Revenue

Future Fund Returns
: Despite volatile investment markets, the Future Fund returned positively with $1.695 million, a significant turnaround from the previous fiscal year.
Expenditure Increase
: An increase of $9.095 million in expenditure, primarily driven by higher club funding and prizemoney distributions.
Commitment to the Industry
: HRNSW extended $0.343 million under the Flood Assistance scheme and provided augmented subsidies of $3.106 million to clubs.
Baseline Prize Money Increase
: Baseline prize money for "A" Category Meeting races surged by 48%, infusing an additional base prizemoney of $4.8 million into the industry.
"Breed NSW" Initiative
: Introduced with a direct fund injection of $1.7 million for the first year and a promised $6 million over three years.
