SEATON FAMILY Run under the Canterbury Jockey Club (‘C.J.C.’) rules the meeting was an eight race programme for stakes of 135 sovereigns. The inaugural Hororata Cup was won by Mr T Quill’s GRAND DUKE and was run for a VALACHI DOWNS purse of 40 sovereigns. These early meetings at Hororata did not have full running rails, they being only in the straight and on the bend to it. The rest of the course was PETERSENS JEWELLERS marked with manuka stakes. A running rail for the full course was only installed in the 1920’s. During the 132 years history of the Club there have only been 15 THE BULLERITES Presidents.

CANTERBURY EQUINE After the first meeting at Hororata the railways manager was approached and he offered to put on an excursion train at special rates from CLINIC Christchurch.

    4 FAREWELL WINX In the Winx of an eye she became A LEGEND AS WE BID FAREWELL TO WINX, ONE OF THE BEST GALLOPERS TO EVER HIT THE TRACK ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, BRAD GRAY REFLECTS ON HER FIVE MOST MEMORABLE WINS IN HER HOME STATE – NO EASY TASK! Winx has left us with our hearts in our mouths, jaws on the floor and wonder in our eyes. What a remarkable career. We salute you Winx. DONCASTER MILE, 2016 Think about this for a moment … 1in Winx’s Doncaster win she gave Happy Clapper 6kg. That is 8kg before the mare’s allowance, and she was only four-years-old too. After settling down with just three runners behind her, Hugh Bowman was niggling the daughter of Street Cry approaching the 600m but once she squeezed through the pack halfway down the straight, she strode clear to win by two lengths going away. Bowman admitted he was as worried as onlookers in the run. This was the day Chris Waller conceded he had a champion on his hands. RIGHT: Hugh Bowman salutes the crowd after Winx’s epic Doncaster Mile victory in 2016 GEORGE RYDER STAKES, 2017 Breathtaking. Winx made a habit of 2winning this race but none were more dominant that the 2017 edition where she annihilated a field that included Le Romain and Chautauqua, with nine Group Ones between them. The wet track certainly played into her hands but after she idled up the leaders at the 400m it was just a matter of margins. It was 7.3 lengths in the end.
