Members enjoyed a first look at our stables development

Monday 5 November saw a special ‘first look’ of the stables development for ARC members.

We started the day right with a glass of Moet, enjoyed a delicious morning tea, made friends with the famous Mufhasa (and his friend Possum) and viewed the new stables with special tours taken by Paul Wilcox, CEO and Tim Gillespie, COO.

The event also played host to several other key ‘moments’ for the season with the unveiling of the annual New Zealand Derby painting, this year featuring Vin De Dance, winner of the 2018 Vodafone New Zealand Derby, and saw the successes of the Ellerslie Awards winners celebrated.

Check out photos of the day below:
