There was an unveiling of the Memorial seat for jockey Johnathan Parkes at the feature meeting on Saturday 5th April at Wanganui which also featured the Group 3 Manawatu Breeders Stakes. The unveiling took place at the front of the Secretary’s office at 11.30am an hour before the first race.
Special thanks go to trainer Erin Hocquard for organising this tribute and Brett Gulliver & Wayne Keenan for their involvement.

Also the family of ex-trainer Ken Cropp have placed a tribute seat outside the Presidents room facing the stables area.
