The first meet of the Golden Triangle kicked off in style at the 99th annual Moree Picnic Races on Saturday.
From near and far racegoers hit the track and dance floor at one of Northern NSW's most popular race meetings.
Moree Picnic Race committee secretary and treasurer Lucy Cush said the meet was a great success.
"Numbers were on par with previous years which was a surprise because people are still picking and planting" she said.
"We sold out of the evening event passes with nearly 100 tickets purchased on the day.
"People from all over country NSW and QLD as well as the city were there so we definitely drew a crowd.
