    rdytdy got a reaction from Huey in BYO   
    The no BYO and $20.00 gate charge at Te Rapa this month kept a lot of people away. Numbers well down on last year.

    What!! Are the police idiots!! If he put the horse in the cab with him there would be very little room for the driver, block the vision and if the horse became unsettled could cause the driver to have an accident.

    Where else would you put the horse on that truck?

    They have going the way I would have if I had owned her...The G1 Thorndon Mile. Winning this race would be much more valuable on her CV plus she will only be third up. A good 1600m at Trentham is like 2000m elsewhere also.

    Yet again we see the same winners time after time in these Fashion In The Field events at the races. They have become a increasing farce.
     
    I see Charlotte Moor won yet again on Boxing Day walking off with $30,000 in prizes backing up from winning on Myers day at the Melbourne Cup meeting and winning Wellington Fashions In the Field earlier in the year. (Any others this year?) Probably looking at $100K in prizes this year alone with (just something Mummy and I threw together). Oh and sister Olivia just happened to win the Derby Day Fashions In the Field in March to go along with her other wins also.
     
    These sisters have been creaming it for at least the last five years in these things and have probably collectively won in excess of $500k.  There are others who have done the same thing in these events. 
     
    Personally I have no interest in these events and wouldn't bother walking across the birdcage to even look at one being held. However I have friends in Auckland who only go on Boxing Day and Derby Day (the wife works in the fashion industry) just to watch these events. They have no interest in the horses or having a bet, the races just a distraction for them in the running of Fashions In The Field.
     
    So, have these things become too big?, how much to they contribute? are the prizes excessive? Who do they actually attract?   
     
    Instead of giving a car or what ever to these seemingly "professional clothes horses" would it be better to make the big prize available to all the rank and file on-course patrons on the day in some form of competition and letting a Joe Blow drive off in a brand new car.  
     
    Thoughts anyone.

    I have to agree with you Midget, it was a good promotion by Shorty and did create a lot of interest.

    I was there for the first one and the birdcage was full and heaps of talk about it ensued.

    Yes, the horse going through the running rail will have meant the PC brigade pulled it for showing on Trackside.

    Good to hear Bob came through it relatively unscathed.
