The Deepwater Races marked a significant milestone on Saturday, celebrating 160 years of horse racing. The event is recognised as one of Australia’s longest-running racing events.

The day included a multi-race program catering to both experienced punters and casual spectators. Food vendors were available to provide a variety of options, and a full bar service kept drinks flowing throughout the event. It was a chance for families and friends to come together and enjoy the day.

The Fashions on the Field competition was also held, giving attendees the opportunity to dress up and compete for prizes. The competition added a bit of fun to the event and gave people a reason to put on their best outfits.
