A big crowd of racegoers celebrated the start of 2022 trackside in Taroom at the Dawson Jockey Club’s D & E Murray Builders New Year’s race day.
The five-race meet attracted more than 2000 locals and visitors, some of whom had travelled from as far away as Cooktown, Mackay and Winton.
Taroom has hosted the races since 1859, with the Dawson Jockey Club formed in 1890. It boasts one of only four left-handed tracks in Queensland, with horses racing anti-clockwise.
