Rockhampton’s Capricornia Yearling Sale Racing Carnival gets off to a dream start at Callaghan Park racecourse on Friday with a massively expanded nine race TAB program.
By sheer weight of horse-starting declarations when 122 were penned-in for the original eight race card, officials had no choice but to willingly expand the program to that of nine races.
This came into fruition when 22 horses from as far afield as Warwick, Taroom, Brisbane, Springsure, Bundaberg and Wondai accepted to race in the $18K 0-58 Ratings Band Handicap (1200m).
