Talking mid-80's,  that race day then had Massive local support! The track would be just about full before the 1st race! The really were a serious progressive club back then,  getting that sort of race was very impressive!  I have just had a quick look through me collection and for those 80's meetings  I was working for Ken Lush, it was Photopress back then, so don't have many,  I do have plenty from the early 90's...  back to those 80's meetings, I use to take the turn for home photos then for Flash, so had to walk up the straight for each race!!! Rather amusingly, I would get followed up and down by a tribe of you Māori kids! Always asking 'give us the winner of this race', I had a top strike rate for that sort of thing! Ove the years I got to know a few of them! one was a very cheeky young fella who went on to be a pretty good rugby player! Calos Spencer. Comparing LRC to Ellerslie back then is a tad hard!  On course back then, then were always solid crowds for any big Raceday! Personally, back then,  I always prefered Wgtn Cup Week 1st, Chch 2nd...  not even sure I would have ARC cup week 3rd.. defiantly not now a days.. Reflecting back to those times as a punter!  While the fields were as a rule much bigger and hence the complexities that come from that, there was no where the amount of other punting distractions as in today!  I'm sure I would have 15/20 hours studying every meeting!

How many people on here think Levin is bludging off Otaki?
