Boxing Day racing clashes split fields across shires
Boxing Day meetings at Cowra Warren Gilgandra and Dubbo stretched entries thin leaving two to three horse fields in many events. Winners were often at odds on while trainers and owners struggled to obtain fair prices. Local crowds dwindled and sentiment soured as dust hot days and a tough track kept spectators away. W D Hinton edged a second day Handicap aboard Hopsac, Fred Fletcher won the Progressive Handicap with Silent Step, and Covitement from E Evans took a 2 to 1 price in Wellington.
