It’s been a busy year for Platform Construction.
Back in January, the team handed over the keys
to HIH on Oxford Terrace to the new owners.
Our Cranmer Terrace project began to pick up
pace as we began in earnest to construct the 44
Residential Townhouses that will grace this site.
Construction has progressed well, with the
challenges of managing the pandemic, and access
to labour and materials being a common theme.
In recent weeks, we have welcomed two new
people to the team: Ray Maarts, Site Foreman and
Ashleigh Burgess, Program Coordinator.
Brick veneer cladding on Cranmer Terrace's Red
Block has continued with the exterior elevations
now beginning to reveal themselves slowly.
Additionally, interior finishing of linings has begun,
including gib stopping and painting of the internal
walls. Plumbing and electrical works are well-

基督城赛马日好事多磨，
新西兰信报参与冠名其中一场比赛
11月12日上周六，晴空万里，基督城The Cup Week的第三个比赛日在
Riccarton Racecourse举行。
在Riccarton Racecourse举行的赛马比赛一直是新西兰规模最大的比赛日
之一。但由于赛道问题，当天只跑了三场比赛，其余比赛被推迟至本周一，11
月14日举行。
在周六的比赛日当天，天气晴朗，Riccarton Racecourse人潮涌动，预计有
超过1.5万人聚集在现场，人们都盛装出席，观看当天的比赛。
虽然当天只进行了三场比赛，但人们依然热情高涨。
在得知当天其余比赛均取消的消息之后，人们感到些许失望。
“今年刚好是长周末假期，我一大早就起来准备参加今天的赛马日比赛，穿
着盛装，但可惜之后的比赛都取消了，还好我看到了前三场比赛，”现场观众
Grace表示，“接下来的时间我们可能就是跟朋友聚一聚，当做一次picnic吧。”
“现在就更像是一场家庭和朋友聚会了，本来我们是来看赛马比赛的，但既
然取消了，我们就当做是来跟朋友聚会吧，”公共区域的Jo在得知比赛取消的
消息后表示。
28
New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing证实，由于当天第三场比赛中有马
匹在赛道上打滑，赛道不安全，所以当天之后的比赛被取消。剩余的9场比赛
被推迟至周一继续举行。
周一下午，剩余的9场比赛恢复。
其中，最激动人心的第二轮比赛“武汉赛马俱乐部大奖赛”由新西兰信报
冠名赞助。武汉赛马俱乐部已根植于基督城十年有余，基督城与武汉互为姐
妹城市，这项比赛的举办，对两个城市的交流和发展都有着长远的意义。
该场比赛的桂冠由10号马The Radiant One和骑手Tina Comignaghi摘
取。这匹马的培育者，是在新西兰育马业和赛马业内颇有名望的Dennis兄
弟。这对双胞胎兄弟在60年代崭露头角，其后陆续获得了多个奖项，他们培
育的马品种优良，在业界取得了巨大的成功。
在颁奖仪式上，新西兰信报的CEO Qaiser Rashid亲临现场，为获奖者颁
奖。Dennis兄弟携自己的家人感谢了新西兰信报对本场比赛的赞助，以及对
新西兰赛马产业的积极推动意义。
