A perfect autumn day greeted racegoers at the annual Tottenham Picnic Races. After being scratched at the barriers moments before the running of the recent Condobolin picnic cup, Double Halo redeemed himself and repaid the faith of his owners by winning the 2018 Liberty Rural Tottenham Picnic Cup over 1400m.
The 10 year old brown gelding is trained in Gilgandra for family and friends by Bruce Parker and was ridden by Narromine based jockey Ricky Blewitt.
Fashions in the field was judged by local ladies, Margaret Greig, Sue Nicholls, Helen Fox-Ashwin and Nola Everingham with Sarah Jarvis from Nyngan named the best dressed lady and Nick “Tex” Ryan from Dubbo the best dressed man. While Sarah Sheldon from Bathurst took home the prize for the best millinery.
