Share in a racehorse

Umina resident Ms Wendy Kerr has won a 10 per cent share in a racehorse as part of a beer promotion at Wyong races on February 22.

Ms Kerr joined seven other lucky punters who will collect any future earnings of the racehorse Opera House as part of their prize.

The winners had bought six packs, cases or draught beer at a participating stockist in the Hunter and Central Coast region to receive a uniquely coded wrist band.

They then attended Wyong Racecourse wearing the wrist band where it was scanned.

Opera House is a pure white Zabeel filly and is the three-quarter sister to 1997 Melbourne Cup winner Might and Power.

Australian entrepreneur Mr John Singleton purchased the horse for $270,000 last year with the intention of sharing the winnings.

The horse will be raced in partnership with Mr Singleton, former rugby league player Andrew Johns and the eight local residents.
