Opening big, the Carlton Clydesdales march across the Main Arena and into our hearts as we discover the important work and history of the Australian draught horse. We see antique wagons and carriages of all sorts and sizes including those from W. C. Penfold, Fielders and many more. We also learn about a sulky versus a viceroy versus a caleche and wonder why anyone other than a horse would want to know. We fail to spot Colonel Bogey this time around, but we know that he's lurking close by as we constantly hear him. We also check in with our old friends Ray Lincoln and Colin Sanders who explain to us something about horseshoes and what will be happening on the closing night of the Royal Easter Show. Apparently, it's not over until the lady with the unfortunately high BMI sings. The mystery of who killed Skylark and where's he buried is also feverously discussed, as is the home of the Clydesdale at Moore Park and the fascinating story of how such an ancient pavilion came into being overnight. Popping in for a little pomp and ceremony, followed by gin and tonics, is Gordon Samuels, Governor of New South Wales and his wife Jacqueline Kott. They show us how to make a grand entrance, one that everyone will be sure to notice. I know that we certainly did. And finally, the Holden Precision Driving Team drop in for a quick lap and a promise of things to come. It's all too exciting for words and one must simply see it to believe it.
