Get Some Fun has claimed victory in the $35,000 Watson McNamara & Watt Guyra Cup, taking out the feature race at Armidale on Sunday, November 8th.
The seven-race programme featured 57 runners and strong support from Guyra businesses through race sponsorship.
The 1400m feature produced a close finish, with Get Some Fun, trained by Karen Owen and ridden by Madeline Owen, holding off Ghost Walker by just 0.21 lengths, with Haze a further half-length back in third.
Honest Doll, trained by Kevin Dixon and ridden by Juliet Partridge, opened the meeting with a win in the Can Assist Armidale Christmas Cup Country Boosted Maiden Handicap over 1400m.
Harriet claimed Race 2, the Guyra Fuels/Four Ways Service Centre Benchmark 58 Handicap over 1900m.
Race 3, the Guyra Community Maiden Handicap over 1100m, went to Mossrocket.
Breukelen won Race 4, the Bishops Hardware/Guyra Bowling Club Benchmark 66 Handicap over 1100m.
Sharpen The Knives took out Race 5, the Guyra Hotel Country Boosted Class 1 Handicap over 1300m.
The final race, Race 7, the Elders Guyra Benchmark 58 Handicap over 1300m, was won by Age Of Aquarius.
Away from the track, the parade ground was also a showcase of fashion, with strong fields contesting the Fashion on the Field competitions for children, men and women.
Wauchope visitors Chloe Dwyer and Lynda Young featured in the women’s competition, while Justin Matthews took out the men’s fashion competition with Archie Jackson runner-up.
Organisers thanked the sponsors who supported the fashion competitions with generous prizes, as hundreds of people gathered at the course for a social day celebrating Guyra and the surrounding district.
