Waikato Racing Club’s cocktail function on the eve of the Gr.2 Lisa Chittick Foxbridge Plate will feature two guest speakers sure to entertain racing enthusiasts.
Two-time Melbourne Cup winning jockey John Letts will be one of the speakers, while a Q&A session with Australian racing and breeding industry supremo John Messara is sure to attract a strong crowd.
Messara has recently delivered his review of the New Zealand racing industry to Racing Minister Winston Peters, with the contents of the report likely to lead to a massive overhaul of the current structure of all three racing codes in New Zealand.
Hosted by former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull, the cocktail function takes place at 5:30pm at Te Rapa on August 17, with tickets available via https://teraparacing.co.nz/racing-and-event
