Crowds galloped to the Kyneton Racecourse for the annual Kyneton Cup, enjoying a spring day of racing, fashion competitions, and live entertainment.
New York Hurricane placed first in the $125,000 Kyneton Cup – Race 8 – trained by Macedon Ranges local Liam Howley and ridden by jockey Harry Coffey.
Held on Wednesday, November 6, Kyneton Cup Day forms part of Victoria’s Spring Racing Carnival, with the program involving nine races, entertainment and fashion competitions.
In the fashion competitions, Karlie Owen won the Millinery category, Tegan Hall won Local Lady, and Belinda Nurse won Lady of the Day.
Kyneton & Hanging Rock Racing Club events and operations manager Lisa Evans said over 2500 attendees enjoyed the spring event.
“It was a beautiful sunny day here in Kyneton … so it was lovely to see a really good fun crowd to come to the races,” Ms Evans said.
“There was lots of colour on the course [and] a really well-attended fashion program by Casey Bruce.”
She said that there was “only positive feedback” from attendees, with some of this in regards to setting up the marquee close to the winning post and the large number of children’s activities.
