Trojan Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Seemed like 3 mins. I guess there are different dress standards for some. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Interesting timing - 2/3min out from the race, when most people are placing their bets, with no odds on screen for minutes. Apparently the race has some cultural significance...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago I bet the Koha had a few zeros after the first digit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeynz Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Personally I think they could have had the maoris doing there thing today, then no one would have to put up with that kind of horse shit😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All The Aces Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago It was great to be there yesterday, great racing, excellent crowd and a buzz all around the course. Having the above performers in the birdcage did raise a number of negative comments from people and also asking why they were there. One wag said they are here too late. The Otaki-Maori wfa Classic was run two weeks ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Carter Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Great Haka and well done ARC for arranging this. The majority on course appreciated and acknowledged the Groups performance. Obviously the Racist's would rather hear God Save the King 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Totally unnecessary before a horse race especially supposedly "the" horse race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cool to have a haka, don't get me wrong, but I just didn't see the relevance. Does the New Zealand Stakes have a haka performed, or the Aotearoa Classic?

But full credit to tbe Ngāti Whātua they've turned these acts into a profitable business. But it is getting repetitive, boring and unnecessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
