RACE 2
1st - Little Kizz - Christie Gilbert
2nd - Way To Go - Kathryn Lehmann
3rd - Wynkie Sweet Fairytales - Chantelle Rendall
4th - Mr Murphy - Corey Johnson
5th - Mission Impossible - Samantha Pascoe
Little Kizz began like a rocket to lead clearly from Mission Impossible, Way To Go, Wynkie Sweet Fairytales and Mr Murphy.
As Little Kizz maintained her advantage over Way To Go who had moved to second, at various stages during the race, each of the other three ponies galloped just as they were starting to make ground on the leaders.
Into the straight it was a race in two, with Christie Gilbert and Little Kizz holding a margin over a gallant Way To Go and Kathryn Lehmann, with a space to Wynkie Sweet Fairytales and Chantelle Rendall, followed closely by Mr Murphy and Mission Impossible.

RACE 3
1st - PJ - Bryce Gilbert
2nd - Crackerjack - Kaycee Carey
3rd - Oungachucka - Chantelle Rendall
4th Wandarra
Tess - Samantha Pascoe
5th - Swamp Fire - Matthew Williams
6th - My Little Pony - Jennifer Lehmann
Scr - Till We Meet Again
PJ led early from Swamp Fire, Oungachucka, Crackerjack, My Little Pony and backmarker Wandarra Tess.
While PJ was trotting along nicely in front, Oungachucka and Crackerjack were looking serious threats with Swamp Fire, and although a long way back and behind My Little Pony, Wandarra Tess was still expected to put in her usual big finish. However, Bryce Gilbert had a peep over the shoulder with 50 metres to go and could see that he and PJ had the race in their keeping, winning well from the consistent Crackerjack and Kaycee Carey. Third was Oungachucka driven by Chantelle Rendall, and then came Swamp Fire ahead of Wandarra Tess and My Little Pony.

RACE 4
1st - Mr Mischief - Matthew Williams
2nd - Lapanacaton - Nicholas Brown
3rd - Petti Cheval - Kathryn Lehmann
4th - Little Paleface - Emma Johnson
Scr - Monkey Business
Scr - Chilli Knights
Only four ponies in the last race of the night, but a very exciting one none the less.
Mr Mischief and Petti Cheval were racing together before Lapanacaton moved up to make a line of three, with Little Paleface just behind.
As Lapanacaton pressed forward towards the front, Petti Cheval took a sit behind it and Mr Mischief, just ahead of Little Paleface.
Into the straight and just as Nicholas Brown and Lapanacaton looked set for victory, his sweeping run to hit the front was starting take its toll and Matthew Williams was able to get Mr Mischief to kick back on the inside to win by a little over a length on the line. Just behind them in a photo for third, Petti Cheval and Kathryn Lehmann just held that spot ahead of Little Paleface, who finished the race off well.
