The crowd at \u00a0the Heritage Community Branch Nanango races – held as a prelude to next week’s big Mardi Gras festival – enjoyed some exciting finishes as well as the warmest of Spring weather on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Fashions of the Field theme of \u00a0“spots, dots and bowties” was enthusiastically followed with racegoers of all ages donning some eye-catching fashions.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0Nanango Mardi Gras Ambassador Danielle Turmaine and Mardi Gras Queen Sue Wallis, who were announced at a function at Ringsfield House on Friday night, were also introduced to the crowd with a parade down the home straight.<\/p>\n

It was also “women’s day” on the track, with female jockeys –\u00a0Alanah Badger,\u00a0Billie-Rose Derbyshire and\u00a0Melody O’Brien – bringing home an unusual trifecta in Race 2. Badger also rode two other placegetters on the day.<\/p>\n
