Addington to livestream Greg Sugars' funeral
Greg Sugars' funeral will be live streamed at Addington Raceway on Monday afternoon (May 12).
The funeral will be held at Melton just outside Melbourne, starting at 2pm NZT. The service will be live streamed via thetrots.com.au and on the big screen at Spectators Bar and Bistro at Addington Raceway.
It will be open from noon on Monday so that his friends and many in the wider harness racing community on this side of the Tasman can pay their last respects.
A very popular figure, both here and in Australia, Sugars died suddenly, aged 40, in Sydney at the end of last month.
He had a stellar 2024 highlighted in this country by his Auckland Cup - Rowe Cup double with Better Eclipse and Just Believe at Alexandra Park last May.
He had more than 4000 lifetime wins, including 71 Group 1s.
Could anyone intending to be at Spectators please email brooke.henderson@addington.co.nz so the venue has an idea of numbers attending. Food and drink will not be provided but will be available for purchase.
