A BIG crowd of exuberant punters ignored overcast skies and showers to celebrate the welcome return of Toodyay’s annual picnic race day after last year’s event was cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions.
Scores of colourful characters thronged trackside last month for a full card of eight races, including the $30,000 Toodyay Cup over 1850m won in a close finish by Gingin-trained bay gelding Admiral Promo, ridden by jockey Jade McNaught (right).
