This is my Granny, Iris Tresidder at Ellerslie races in the late 1940’s before I was even thought of. She was with Mum and my Uncle Derek all dressed in the nines.

Granny Tresidder and my other Granny (Dad’s Mother) both wore fox furs which was the fashion of those times. 

Ellerslie races still goes, it is for galloping horses and steeplechase races. The trotters race at Alexander Raceway. Both race courses are very close, one is in Greenlane (Alexander) and the other in Remurea (Ellerslie). Well Remurea and Ellerslie are borderline territories in the Auckland region, of New Zealand.
