Heavy rain (and hail) the night before couldn’t stop Nanango Race Club’s Spring race meeting from going ahead on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In fact, the turf track at the Lee Park Racecourse looked like it hadn’t received a drop despite the fact that only the evening before it had been inches deep in water.<\/p>\n

Stewards actually upgraded the track rating from Soft to Good ahead of Race 1 – and six-year-old mare Whistle Hoff set a class record in the last race!<\/p>\n

There were five races on the card, and the meeting went off without a hitch.<\/p>\n

As a thank you to patrons for their past support, the Race Club threw open its doors for free entry for the meeting which ensured a good crowd was in attendance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Punters had a tough day, though, with only one favourite greeting the judges.<\/p>\n

But out on the track, Kelly Gates would have been happier, romping home on two winners, both with huge margins.<\/p>\n
