    The wiz

    I think we should come up with some promotional ideas for the "WIZ" day at Bankstown in aid of charity!!!!

    New Bankstown Race Day Ambassador Gary 'Wiz' Freeman MNZM

    23 March 2012



    Gary ‘Wiz’ Freeman.


    ‘INTERNATIONAL rugby league legend turned television celebrity Gary ‘Wiz’ Freeman MNZM will be the Race Day Ambassador of Sydney’s harness racing home, Bankstown Paceway, for the Rainbow of Hope Charity Race Day in support of Revesby’s Broderick Gillawarna Special School on Monday, April 16th, 2012,’ Bankstown Paceway Director Andrew Ho announced this morning.
    ‘Bankstown Paceway is elated to welcome to our track Wiz Freeman – New Zealand’s greatest ever half back and, at the time of his retirement, the most capped New Zealand test player and record holder for most consecutive tests for New Zealand, with 37,’ Mr Ho said, ‘and, with all of the New Zealand horses who have made the move to Bankstown in recent years, Wiz should feel right at home.’
    ‘But, fear not local league fans, because in the course of his stellar career Wiz also played for the Tigers, Roosters, Panthers and the Eels before taking up his current role as the co host of Fox Sports NRL Dream Team,’ Mr Ho added.
    The Rainbow of Hope Charity Race Day will be held at Bankstown Paceway on Monday, April 16th, 2012, with the first race set to start at 1.29 pm.
    Tickets for the race day charity luncheon in support of the Broderick Gillawarna Special School – which includes a three course gourmet buffet lunch plus all beer, wine and soft drinks – can be purchased for $110 per person or $1000 per table of ten by contacting Mrs Vanessa Gauci, Broderick Gillawarna Special School P&C, direct on 0421 462 842 or via email at Gauci1@optusnet.com.au

    I think as a warm-up at least, the WIZ should get in the sulky and do a couple of laps full throttle?
    Another great idea, is that everyone bring a football along, and stand behind the fence, and as the WIZ comes around you get to kick the football at him, and if you successfully knock him out of the gig, you win prizes??? All the lost footballs are sold off for the charity!

    How about Pigeon Shooting with the Wiz?
    The back part of the stepped area at the front of the grandstand and to the left is covered in pigeon crap that is about 3 inches deep.
    Charge $20 for 6 shots plus a photo with the Wiz & your bag.

    Here is The Wiz pictured with local identity Mark 'The Silver Fox' Read after a successful shoot on a vacant lot out the back of Bankstown Square.

    That's a beauty!....can't stop laughing!!! Thought of another one, between each race, 10 people plus WIZ push the water cart around the track (it normally conks out anyway).....at the end of the night the fastest team get's to go across to the Rec Club for half a dozen schooners each with the WIZ!!!
