More than 600 people flocked to Greenham Park on Saturday for the biggest event on the Balranald Race Club calendar, the Balranald Cup.
Swan Hill trainer Con Kelly’s five-year-old gelding Ragged Keys, ridden by jockey Chelsea MacFarlane, took home the coveted Balranald Cup.
Balranald Race Club treasurer Donna Renfrey said the day was a huge success.
“It was a perfect day weather wise,” Ms Renfrey said.
“We had live entertainment throughout the races, which was something we’ve never done before.
“That really changed the whole atmosphere and was great from a crowd aspect.”
Six races were held over the day, with six to eight horses running in each.
“There were quite a few close calls which made it very interesting,” she said.
