Eric Murray beats Mahe Drysdale in surprise win at North Island Club Champs at Karapiro

EXCLUSIVE UNEDITED FOOTAGE No one watching the days racing, expected Eric Murray to beat World Champion Mahe Drysdale. I had filmed both so many times that I wasn't even going to bother. I had my camera off the tripod to watch Tauranga Boys College students from Tauranga Rowing Club being presented with medals, when we all stopped to see Mahe win another race. We had all seen it so many times before. Even so, I thought I might as well film them as they go past, even without the tripod - I could always delete it later. You can hear the crowds surprise when in the flick of an eye, Eric pulled up and passed Mahe. What odds would the bookies have given on that happening! With the Olympics later this year it has certainly set tongues wagging.
