A mix of young party-seekers, hardy racing fans and those who have contributed to the running of one of New Zealand’s oldest racing clubs were out in force for its annual Christmas race meeting. That mix led to the Tapanui club hosting one of its largest crowds in recent years, which means the day could only be labelled a success. The finish to yesterday’s feature race on the track, the $55,000 Tapanui Cup, was fitting for the club’s big day.
