Racing rans responded to the special event as stacks of spectators flooded to Towac Park for what was a strong field of competitors, as well as a cracking day of weather.

The condition of the course has come a long way in 12 months considering this time last year, the club lost a December meeting due to drought.

Fast forward a year and things couldn't be going better for Bree McMinn's facilities.

Jockey Matthew Cahill commented on the quality of the surface at Towac.

"They do a really good job here," hoop Matthew Cahill said.

"This is as good as I've seen the track. Bree (McMinn) does really well with everything... I think she's a bit of a jack of all trades."

The Cowra-based rider rode Always Sure home in the third race of the day.
