As a harness racing tipster, Craig says he is determined to help punters receive the most beneficial advice.

Craig’s business background started in 1995 after calling trials at Pukekohe and Auckland. He was constantly tipping winners to his friends. Shortly after, he was approached by the camera man at Pukekohe who suggested he started a tipping service, that 0900 90099 hotline has stood the test of time and remains NZ’s No.1 harness line.
