Cheers for a pleasant afternoon for 'The Cup’

With champagne corks popping and lots of nibbles to be enjoyed for 'The Cup' around the country, these ladies took time out on Tuesday afternoon to be part of the spirit of the day at Warracknabeal’s The Local 165.

With the Cup just about to run, Dianne Marchment, Jo White and Karen Quick were joined by Jaymee and Jade McRae to enjoy a glass of bubbly as the big race was about to be run.

Knight’s Choice took out the 163rd running of the Cup in a close finish, which required a photo finish for the first four across the line.

The Cup is the richest two-mile handicap in the world and has been run since 1861, except during the two major world wars and has been deemed as a pubic holiday since 1876.
