Wow what a great day yesterday was! Thank you to all our sponsors, we simply couldn’t run the day we do without you. Thank you to all the trainers, drivers, stable staff and owners for participating at our meeting. Thank you to our hardworking committee for all the hours of work you put in throughout the year. Thank you to everyone else who helps put our day together and makes it run smoothly- food vendors, photographers, HRNZ, the unhinged pair, start crew and Clarks …..This list goes on, but most importantly thank YOU the patrons that turned up and enjoyed our day!

Telfers Mystery Envelope was a HIT once again this year! Not only was it a HIT and all contestants were very great full, we had one contestant that pulled at our heart strings and gifted her prize- the big TV to a lady in need on course, was a beautiful surprise.
