Drizzle not expected to dampen spirits at Canterbury's Cup Day
Punters are expected to show up rain or shine for Canterbury's Cup Day, with ticket sales looking strong for today's event.
About 12 thousand people are expected at Addington Raceway despite the forecast of patchy drizzle.
Race-goers will have plenty to tuck into, including 600 kilograms of asparagus, a tonne of potatoes, and thousands of petite desserts.
Chief executive Brian Thompson told Mike Hosking a bit of light rain won't worry any hearty Cantabrians.
He says about 20% of revenue comes from Cup Day alone, so it's about showing the community what Addington can do.
