Christmas cheer was shared trackside at Nanango Race Club on Saturday, 14 December.
Punters came to experience the magic of Christmas at the races, and although the threat of rain had tensions high, it didn’t dampen the spirits of the crowd as they cheered on their favourite horse to victory.
The rain held off, allowing all races to go ahead as scheduled, with trainer Tony Haydon and jockey Nora Palasthy walking away with two wins.
