August 5, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nanango Race Club’s annual “Cup” day is always big … but Saturday’s meeting was huge with crowd numbers boosted by visitors in town for the evening centenary celebrations of the Nanango rugby league team.<\/p>\n

The meeting marked the beginning of the new racing season, so Club trophies were distributed to the leading jockey, trainer and horse for 2012-13.<\/p>\n

It was a good day for Kumbia trainer James Curtain, who not only was presented with the Trainer of the Year trophy but also went home with a 1st (Colonel Sodhi in Race 1) and a 3rd (Belwina in Race 2).<\/p>\n

Horse of the Year was Red Suit, owned and trained by Caroline Allardyce from Gatton.<\/p>\n

Jockey of the Year was Chris Kearney.<\/p>\n

Also sashed for the 2013-14 season was the Race Club’s Ambassador, a role which will be reprised by Noel Trace.<\/p>\n

The fashion theme of the meeting was\u00a0“Winter White and Midnight Black” and the crowd, from the youngest toddler to the oldest punter, seemed eager to comply.<\/p>\n

The black \/ white theme was extended into a special marquee, erected on behalf of the Carrollee Hotel, which was packed with partygoers and even had its own dedicated bookie.<\/p>\n

The six-race card featured some very close racing.<\/p>\n

Jockeys Billie-Rose Derbyshire and Brooke Ainsworth both rode a double.<\/p>\n

The prestigious Nanango Cup was taken out by Jason Hoopert on “Mimics”.<\/p>\n

In Race 2, jockey Lyall Appo’s mount Jet Largo was scratched at the barrier after twice breaking through the box and then refusing to load.<\/p>\n

Rip\u2019n’Twist, who threw jockey Shannon Apthorpe at the May meeting at Nanango, made some amends with a second in Race 1.<\/p>\n
