With this being our Christmas Eve meeting Santa was looking for a pony to help him carry his sack of lollies to the children on the lawn, when Wandarra Tess found out she was very excited and offered to help.

Our Association sold lucky squares on the night. We are very grateful for all participants who brought an item to go in one of our two Christmas baskets where the was some excellent items donated. The winners of the two baskets were number 47 Jim Smith and number 20 Jessica Newman.

Also, thank you to Nikki Lines-Lee for preparing the baskets and Bettina Allen and Heather Donsberg for selling the squares.

When stater said go all five stepped away nicely with PJ out in front from stable mate Razzle Dazzle, Swamp Fire, the first starter White Lightning and Mr Mysterious.

PJ was still the leader around the bend heading into the straight; White Lightning was putting in the strides to pick up this leader. Razzle Dazzle, Swamp Fire and Mr Mysterious were all making up ground.

Half way up the straight White Lightning and Jayden Brewin took over the lead and went for home and scored by 15 metres from PJ and Branden Fuller in second and My Mysterious and Bailey Hoare back in third.
