Merlin's Magical Win in the Ashburton Flying Stakes Leads to a $10,000 Windfall 🪄 The NZB Kiwi team conjured a Plan B for the slot holders and their chosen charity partners after the Sarten Memorial race meeting at Te Rapa Racing was abandoned after Race 3. Each slot holder randomly drew a runner in the NZB Airfreight Ashburton Flying Stakes Pace and the chance to win a hearty $10,000 donation put up by Entain. A silent murmur of appreciation emanated from the NZ Horse Ambulance team when favourite Merlin's name was pulled out of the hat for Waikato Thoroughbred Racing (WTR). (In reality, there were unabashed fist pumps) The harness race was run and won by Merlin, who stormed home down the inside passing lane to claim the prestigious race. Thank you to Entain for a fantastic $10,000 donation and to the WTR team for embracing the Trust as its charity partner. Take 2 🎬 of the NZB Kiwi draw will be held on Melbourne Cup Day at Ellerslie. #ThankYou #WinnersAreGrinners #NZBKiwi...
