      Brief Update on Hastings.

      By hesi · Posted

      Apologies getting my wires crossed, it's been a long day The race was first run as the ‘Levin Turf Classic’ at the Levin Racecourse over a mile (1600m) in 1981, an innovative idea by the Levin Racing Club Committee at the time. The inaugural running was won by Altitude. The following year, in 1982, Our Flight became the first, and to date only, Levin trained horse to win the race, trained by Errol Skelton. The significant initial quality of the race resulted in the granting of ‘Group 2’ status from the very early days of the Classic. In 1984, the Club secured the sponsorship of Bayer, a German pharmaceutical company based in Leverkusen, to sponsor the race. Their internationally recognisable brand, and the considerable amount of prize money pumped into the race made it one of the most prestigious and targeted races for three year old horses in Australasia. They would continue to sponsor the race until 2004, but the race today is often still regarded by many as the ‘Bayer Classic’.

      Brief Update on Hastings.

      By hesi · Posted

      Bayer were big suppliers of chemicals to the farming and horticultural sector (as well as industry) so there was always a huge crowd on course with many clients invited to partake in the Bayer marquee. Those were the days that the Bayer Classic always attracted the top 3-year-olds, like Veandercross.  It was a credit to the Otaki Maori RC that they were able to get a race like that going in 1981 and how quickly it became secondary only to the 2000 Guineas and Derby

      i think you've answered your own question there brodie. I'm not sure how they went tonight as wasn't watching it much. I did hear a white comment after the last race that it had been a great night,but  that his tips not so.He normally says that after each thursday night at cambridge.
