Racing: ARC honours Sunline with feature

Sunline is to be officially honoured by the Auckland Racing Club.

The ARC yesterday announced that the 3-year-old fillies' race on Stella Artois Auckland Cup Day would be known as the Mercedes-Benz Sunline Vase.

Bill Gianotti, chairman of the Auckland Racing Club said: "The club is delighted that with the support of the McKee family we are able to recognise a true champion in Sunline.

"As an Oaks winner herself, the Mercedes-Benz Sunline Vase serves as a perfect lead-up to the New Zealand Oaks."

The McKee family will donate a vase for the race.
