Boys Get Paid's (BGP) Luke Kemeys is a chartered accountant, rogue wordsmith, a guy with a .com after his name or the one turning up to the New Zealand Bloodstock Karaka Million in red boxer shorts.
Luke is an Old Boy, attending PNBHS 2001-2005.
He is also one of the founding members leading a community of people called ‘Boys Get Paid’ within the horse racing industry.
‘Boys Get Paid’ is New Zealand’s biggest ever Punters Club. Luke provides leadership for one of New Zealand’s most engaged Facebook Group communities with over 17,000 members with a focus on Horse Racing and giving the younger generation an insight into the industry.
The founder of BGP back in 2011, is Old Boy Duane White (2001-04) who is working in the Racing Industry in Sydney.
Earlier in the year, The Herald released an article about ‘Boys Get Paid’ and their heading was “Punting party Boys Get Paid set to unleash war chest at Karaka Million”.
Luke is an active speaker, both on an online platform and at events. He has a passion for Men’s Health, starting the Big Boys Breakfast hosted on International Men’s Day, designed to get everyday men talking about everyday issues that we all encounter during life.
We are looking forward to Luke entertaining as guest Speaker at our annual Old Boys Palmerston North dinner.
The cost of the dinner is $75.00 per person, this includes a free welcome drinks hour, a full dinner and entertainment followed by a round of port.
Luke then returns to join us and lead us through A Day At The Races on Saturday September 25th.
The cost of Race Day is $60.00 per person, this includes Lunch, A Race Book and Pen, afternoon tea and $20.00 added into the Punters Pot, we hope Luke will invest this in the field well and pay you all handsome dividends.🤗
What’s one thing you’d like New Zealanders to know about
a.) a day at the races and
b.) about the sport itself?
a)"If you’re going once a year, dig into your pocket to support a community asset and event - don’t expect it for free."
b)"The sport employees thousands of New Zealanders and having a bet doesn’t make you a degenerate - we’ve all seen you lining up for a Lotto ticket without being judged."
this is going to be a fun day out ...
