On Sunday more than 350 people gathered in the small Taranaki town of Waverly to celebrate one of New Zealand's most iconic sports star. They were there for the unveiling of a life sized tribute to the racehorse Kiwi, who famously came from behind to win the 1983 Melbourne Cup. Brian Rook, who was the chair of the statue committee and is a South Taranaki District councillor talks to Nights about the journey to get there.
