    One question asked is who actually designed it, an individual or was it the the NZIGP people
    Ron Frost, Eric Mallard, Ross Jensen ? as a group,with the constraints of the Horse Track,size of the total property and the fact that it was needed by early 1963, after being advised that Ardmore would not be available.

    Further details indicate that the McLaren's, Les and Bruce had some input, Eric Mallard was involved in the project in a huge way but not in the design according to his son Mark Mallard
