Past and present came together in a tradition that began in 2006 as the New Zealand Racing Hall of Fame honoured its luminaries at the ninth Inductee Dinner in Hamilton last week.
The 2023 celebration transcended generations as Beau Vite, a champion from more than 80 years ago, joined modern-day stars Melody Belle and Verry Elleegant in the equine pantheon. Likewise, champion 1930s jockey Keith Voitre was inducted along with the very best of the current crop, Opie Bosson.
