Torbanlea Picnic Races

The Torbenlea Picnic races where held a couple of weekends ago and from all accounts it was a graet day, even after heavey rain and cyclonic winds. There was a great crowd and the fields where well supported with all the races run over 400m. This was mostly for safety reasons. There was a maiden 400m race and a open 400m race with Ian Rosenow's horse winning the first heat of the maiden and Cathy Messenger's horse coming second in a field of five horses. Cathy was very excited to see her horse thunder down the straight. Susan Peddle also made the trip down from Dululu with a little mare which did very well. It was reported that Susan went home with a smile on her face from ear to ear.

Thanks Cathy for your run down on what sounded like a great day. Lets hope that this is the start of great things to come for sprint racing in Queensland.

Well done to everybody who supported the Torbenlea Picnic race day.
