Hot to trot farmer makes trotting history
Federated Farmers is saluting the success of arable and sheep farmer, Ricky May, who made the history books yesterday in the Christchurch Casino New Zealand Trotting Cup.
“Becoming the most successful driver in 110 years, of the great race, takes a lot of talent and we are thrilled for Ricky who is a valued member of the Federation,” says Bruce Wills, Federated Farmers President.
“It is humbling to see that even with the nation celebrating his success, when we spoke to him he was back out in the paddock spraying peas.
“Whilst Ricky is taking the modest approach, farmers right throughout New Zealand will be celebrating his success as are we.
“It just shows you how rich the vein of talent is in New Zealand farmers, with many more out there achieving great and exciting things,” Mr Wills concluded.
