It’s dubbed “Where the Surf Meets The Turf” and yesterday plenty of sun was added to the mix at the Ruakaka racetrack for the InterIslander Summer Festival. There was trotting and gallops racing at the Whangarei Racing Club’s track and a large crowd of punters enjoyed the day. <i>Northern Advocate</i> photographer John Stone went along to capture the action — on and off the track.
