Statue of iconic Kiwi superstar unveiled in South Taranaki

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.
