No other word for it but Fantastic!
The evening went down a real treat and was a great success,
everyone dressed for the occasion and looked great. A glass
of bubbly on arrival set the mood for some, while others opt
for the juice (Not a bad idea for next time). It did not take
long before heads were down scanning the race books, and bets
flowing at the totes.
The venue (Top of the Park) was amazing, and with the mix
of our members and the public, it was a very exciting place
to be when the horses were heading down the straight towards
the finishing line.
I have never seen so many tantalizing dishes to choose from
at the buffet, and would be very surprised if folks managed
to sample everything on the tables. The beverage service to
the tables was excellent, a big thank you to Alexandra Park
management and staff.
“Word is there were quite a few lucky punters on the
night, and for one of our members in particular, a real winner
whose ticket was picked in the draw for 10% winnings of “Auckland
Reactor”, that won the cup on the night. Auckland Reactor
is truly a famous horse that has lost only
two racesinternationally
throughout his racing career.
Sad to say the staff at the Society was not so lucky with
the pickings of the night !
Our camera operator Michael certainly took photos, approximately
118 shots to be exact....so we hadplenty
to choose from for our website, so take a look when you get
time!
