Coming into the Derby as a winner of only a maiden at Matamata, the gelding was not among the favourites for the Group 1 race. But after being given a beautiful rails ride by Michael Coleman, he simply outstayed his rivals and won by a long head with favourite Mount Street in second place. The win gave Paul Moroney, who has bought countless Group 1 winners at sales all around the world, the first Group 1 winner he has actually bred.

South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand SPANZ was a New Zealand airline, operating between 1960 and 1966. It is regarded as a forerunner to Ansett New Zealand . History SPANZ was founded in 1960 by Bob Anderson and Rex Daniell, who had formerly been pilots for National Airways Corporation NAC , the state airline of the time. The Australia n airline Ansett Australia Ansett ANA was a major shareholder. SPANZ was established in direct competition with NAC, although the airline s policy to link larger secondary towns. The New Zealand aviation industry at the time was highly regulated in favour of the state carrier, and SPANZ struggled financially. In 1966, the airline was forced to call in the receivers, making its last commercial flight on 28 February. Aircraft SPANZ owned three Douglas DC 3 aircraft, named after New Zealanders Ernest Rutherford , Jean Batten , and George Bolt it also leased a number of other aircraft . The DC 3s were unique as they were equipped with enlarged elongated cabin windows, giving them the name Viewmaster . They also had refurbished interiors up to the standard of more modern types then operating. This caused the Government owned National Airways Corporation to upgrade its large fleet of DC 3s. SPANZ had wanted to operate the Convair CV 240 family Convair 440 handed down from Ansett ANA but the civil aviation authority said that the airports to be used were substandard for the type. Just before the end, SPANZ had been given approval to operate Fokker F 27 s. Routes SPANZ operated or planned to operate from most large secondary towns with either paved or compacted grass runways.

Weissenborn is a brand of lap slide guitar manufactured by Hermann Weissenborn in Los Angeles in the 1920s and 1930s. These instruments are now highly sought after, and form the base for most non resonator acoustic lap steel guitar s currently produced. It is estimated that fewer than 5,000 original instruments were produced, and unknown how many now survive. Both single and twin neck models were produced, both with highly adapted bodies that run the full length of the fingerboards, making conventional playing completely impossible. The brand is now used for reproduction instruments. Weissenborns are manufactured in China, not in Europe.

Background In 1928, when the East Coast Main Trunk Railway was opened as far as Taneatua , its furthest extent, a passenger train commenced operating from Auckland to Taneatua on a slow 12 hour schedule.
