Zac tries his luck at the races

It was a big day at the races for All Black Zac Guildford.
Guildford and his Greytown uncle Glen Burt had the responsibility of selecting the horses for the Punters Club tickets, which sold at $10 a pop.
Despite admitting to feeling "a little bit of pressure", Guildford said he was not too worried about it.
"I just have to pick some winners; that's not too hard is it?" he said.
His uncle echoed Guildford's sentiments.
"We have the expertise to do it."
Guildford credited his uncle for getting him into racing.
"It's this man over here - he got me into it at an early age."
Guildford said he was looking forward to having a wee bit of a gamble.
"I have had two bets so far, and I have won one of them," he said.
He said he was enjoying his day at the Tauherenikau Races.
"I'm just having a few quiet drinks with my family. Hopefully I'll make a bit of money for me and the Punters Club," he said.
Guildford told the crowd he enjoyed his trip away touring with the All Blacks but it was good to be back home with his family.
Punters Club co-ordinator Kim Treweek said Guildford and Mr Burt did well in their selections.
"People will most likely get most of their money back. We have had some wins just not very big ones," he said.
700 people brought punter tickets and made up a money pool of $7000.
"That is a little down on previous years but that really reflects the weather," Mr Treweek said.
Tauherenikau Races chief executive Jason Fleming said was impressed with the turnout of people at the first race meeting for 2010.
"The weather could not hold supporters back - it is a great Wairarapa tradition."
He said the day offers variety for families.
"The harness fraternity is a big draw card ... and the activities for kids like the bouncy castle and the balloons - it's a real family day out," he said.
