Paul Dwyer spent yesterday at the Omakau races with 8000 people on course on a brilliant day, making it the biggest meeting in the South Island outside of the NZ Trotting Cup Day in Christchurch.
Paul headed down to Wingatui for Melbourne Cup Race Day and caught up with many of the characters there in what turned out to be a perfect day on the track.
Beginning today, our new series Racing Chat covers Premier meetings hosted by the Otago Racing Club over summer. This week, Paul Dwyer previews the Melbourne Cup meet at Wingatui.
