Horse Racing at Charleville

Today:
Running;  Nil

We are staying next to the race course. As I mentioned yesterday, there was activity over there so I ran elsewhere.
Today was race day on the red dirt circuit.The image is the finish of race 3 over 1000 metres, field of 10 horses. The start line is on the opposite side of the track, track distance about 1.8 kms.
A crowd off about 100 race goers included bookies, the jockeys, others that help with the races, the ambulance, a 2 piece band singing country songs, a fashion on the field parade for the ladies, field of four.
 It was quite exciting for a non race person like me, although I have been to a few meetings including a Melbourne Cup years ago.
Caravan park will be fully packed again tonight, the " no vacancies" sign will be out due mainly to interstate travellers heading directly north from Victoria to north Qld.
Cold overnight again, -1 degrees, looking for warmer nights soon when we get closer to the coast, leave here on Monday.
