Toodyay Cup 2024 a success

THE TOODYAY Cup made its return to the Avon Valley on September 22 when the Toodyay Race Club hosted its first meeting at the local race course since 2021.

An estimated crowd of 3000 racegoers attended the course on what was a sunny Spring Day to see the return of familyfriendly picnic-racing to the Avon Valley.

The efforts of the club and community volunteers to put the event on paid off with
good odds as the friendly crowd enjoyed the warm ambience of the country race event.

The smiling faces and colourful fascinators on the heads of frocked up ladies were almost
matched by the glammed-up besuited blokes crowding around the bar.

Which is to say the fashions in the field went off like a firecracker with a good dose
of humour (and strutting) thrown in.

As for the cup.

The Toodyay Cup that was won by a horse named Zaza Rock – and he did – as did his
jockey and owners.

Tod Johnston and PeaceLove then had the crowd dancing as the sun went down.
