Another Day in Paradise ....
For those that are fans of my Flag Pole after the Sandy Creek Meet ,
You will be pleased to know I have added a few more flags to the line up .....
I was also at the southern end of the "Southern Downs : Prestige Acreage Living" .
Niley and BlueRoo were also members of the elite residential area ....
We then started the day with a drive up and down looking at the coloured sands .
But then the big event of the day was the Seahorse Racing .
It all started with the all important Auction , where you got a chance to own a Race Horse .
( I haven't laughed so much in ages ) .
Well done to JetCrew for being the Auctioneer ( he has definitely missed his calling ... )
Some people had their eyes on certain racers for sure .....
The Auction in full swing , with prices going higher and higher ....
Yogi finally broke his silence , with a little horse he had his eye on for a long time ....
And he outbid anyone for his choice ....
Then after getting horses decorated , the track was laid out and the racing began .
Pity about the strong head wind , but it was a great event , that brought the Nation to a standstill ....
Well the people that were trackside anyway !
A very happy winner of Heat # 1 .
The top 2 from Heat # 1 celebrate , knowing they get to start in the Grand Final .
Some of the outfits were outstanding ....
It was time for the Grand Final ...
The racing was extremely close ... Horse 5 is just in front , with horse 1 and 2 vying for second , and 4 and 6 still a chance ....
But there can only be one winner , and doesn't she love the cameras .... even a high five is done over the shoulder !!
The top three place getters in the 2012 Cup ....
All the Starters gather for a celebratory photo ( or three )
A truly great day , full of fun and laughs .....
Thanks Everyone !
