Wow — what a brilliant day! The Shetland Steeplechase at the Canterbury A & Show was probably our best ever. The accolades were flowing from the Show Committee and the public after the race and people from all walks of life are still talking about it. If you fly with Air New Zealand, you will see that we even had a colour photo in the November issue of their Kai Ora In-flight magazine.
