Apprentice jockey Beau Appo<\/strong> – son of the popular Lyall – booted home two winners in a career best at Nanango on Saturday, including Thunder Lane in the prestigious $12,000 XXXX Gold \/ Carrollee Hotel Nanango Cup.<\/p>\n

Veteran jockey Chris Kearney<\/strong> also had a remarkable start to the day, bringing home the winners in Race 1 and Race 2.<\/p>\n

The Lee Park racetrack at Nanango attracted a big crowd for the six-race Nanango Cup meeting, its premier race event of the year.<\/p>\n

Also along for the day was local MP Deb Frecklington, who sponsored Race 2, and the recently appointed Chairman of Racing Queensland, Kevin Dixon, who presented the Nanango Race Club’s Horse of the Year Award to the connections of “Lady Oscar”.<\/p>\n

The crowd enjoyed the sunshine as well as the hotly contested Fashions of the Field competition, which had a black and white theme.<\/p>\n

The official presentations of the Nanango Race Club<\/strong> and South-East Queensland Country Association<\/strong> (SEQCA) premierships were also made.<\/p>\n

The Gill family went home happy, with husband Barry taking out the Trainer of the Year award and wife Desiree, the Jockey of the Year.<\/p>\n
