Perth races have gone ahead this year, despite being unable to welcome spectators.
The three-day event concluded on Friday, with Cyclop and Brian Hughes having won the William Hill Highland National on the final day.
But organisers say it was a “bittersweet” event without the usual cheering crowds.
‘Truly bittersweet’
Bosses at Perth Racecourse say the sunny weather would usually have attracted swathes of people to the event.
But the ongoing pandemic meant spectators were absent this year.
Perth Racecourse CEO Hazel Peplinski said: “It’s been a truly bittersweet three days with such fabulous support from both locals and long-distance trainers making for some superb racing this week.
