Sensational day for Spring racing

A beautiful spring day heralded the annual Forbes Spring Race Carnival at Forbes Jockey Club. Although the crowd was small again this year, there was plenty of people at the races to participate in the annual Fashions on the Field, judged by Sheryn Davie and Mel West, who walked among the crowd selecting the winners of each of the four categories.

The inaugural Yabby Race was also held under the tote cover, with 12 yabbies being auctioned, and the funds returned to the winners.

The auction, conducted by Forbes Jockey President Randall Grayson, was an entertaining intermission between races.

The six race program was highly successful with punters enjoying the day.

Winners of the Fashions on the Field were: Most Elegant Lady Kristy Moore; Best Dressed Best Millinery Jackie Murray; Local Couple Jessie Rix and Sam Tildsley; and Best Dressed Gent Harrison Terry.
