    • BS. Educate yourself. It's obviously doing the controversy bit quite well though. While there is no one voice to definitively define what haka is, in a recent b95FM podcast kapa haka expert Paora Sharples explained that the very nature of haka is to be controversial so to deny or forbid that aspect of haka is to deny its true purpose.... ... While haka indeed played a role in inter-tribal warfare, it was used for all occasions, and was incredibly important in the lives of tīpuna Māori (ancestors), he says.T his practice continues today, with haka performed at celebrations, commemorations, events of sadness, grief, anger or happiness or pride. Weddings, tangi, funerals, graduations, sporting achievements, protests, competitions, all have had haka dedicated to them by different whānau and rōpū.

    • The excitement building in Virginia around the first-ever spring meet at Colonial Downs will come to a head March 15 as the $500,000 Virginia Derby makes its debut on the Road to the Kentucky Derby.View the full article
    • This turnout relative to population is a red herring.  Let's face it when the races are on at Wingatui and the Highlanders aren't playing there is only one gig on in town. On Saturday aside from all the outstanding permanent attractions there are a million entertainment options for people to spend their discretionary dollar on.  It's called competition and you can throw a zillion dollars at marketing an event and at some stage the marginal cost leads to negative return. If they got 10,000 people oncourse thats more than your average Blues game!! The other thing to consider is the hospitality ticket pricing at Ellerslie.  What would you expect to pay for 6 hours of entertainment?
    • Sssshhh!!  That place is a hidden gem.  Right in amongst the horses and stable talent.  Plus no loud music and you can talk without telling!  You can wander out look at the horses in the pre-parade ring and still have 10 or more minutes to get a bet on.
