I don't know if anyone caught the Kumara Gallops meeting yesterday if it was or not shown on Sky. It's one of those icon meetings where everyone who wants to be anyone goes if you are within 2-3 hours of the track. They always get huge crowds. Very much reminds me of Oakbank races in SA. (without the jumps)
yesterday's meeting included a "Fashions in the Field" competition for men and ladies. Prizes in the ladies category were the normal fashion type prizes but in true keeping with the "bush" community, the men's prize was, according to commentator Mark McNamara, $500 hunting and shooting equipment. No doubt one of the largest entry numbers for a male FinF comp.
