With the sun beating down, residents from the Macedon Ranges and surrounds flocked to the Kyneton Racecourse to witness the return of the Kyneton Cup after a four-year hiatus.
In a jam-packed day of racing, seven year-old chestnut gelding from the United Kingdom, Harmysian, took out the Kyneton Cup to secure a Country Cup Final spot at Caulfield on November 18.
The thrilling 2000 metre seventh race of the day secured Harmysian, ridden by Jye McNeil, the fifth win of its career so far under the guidance of Mornington based trainer Clayton Douglas.
In fashions on the field, colours were out in abundance, with different shades of pink and pastels among the most popular frocks at the track. Pops of blue, feathers and ruffles also made an appearance in the winning Lady of the Day outfits.
