Guerin: The stars and stories - finally we get the NZ Cup we deserve

Now we get the New Zealand Cup we all deserve. The Cup we sometimes felt like we would never get again.

Bloody 2020 and 2021 could do that to you. Sap your strength. Make you forget how good it felt.

The things we all lost, even temporarily during COVID-19, were way more important than just some horse race, some race day.

But if you love harness racing, or any racing, what we all lost was summed up by Cup Day. Less glamour, less party, less people, less being us.

Now it is back. Our day and our race. And what a race we have.
