Do those in racing have the best "offices"?

Moira & Kieran Murdoch’s morning routine might just prove that point 🌊

We love seeing the special parts (and people!) of our industry getting some mainstream attention.

Saturday's stakes races are shaping up to be quite the spectacle!

We've taken a look at the fields of both the Listed Campbell Infrastructure Rotorua Cup and the G3 Rotorua ITM Stakes and have some names for your consideration (no guarantees here though! 😉)

Hot tip from Damien Radesic, our GM here, is Nigella Lane in the G3 feature 🧐

Rotorua Racing Club’s most prestigious raceday of the season is shaping up to be a cracker, bringing together proven stakes performers, in-form stables and plenty of familiar faces across two feature events from a racecard of 9 races.
