THE Warwick Picnic Race Day on the weekend was the best yet with record crowds and rave reviews, organisers said.
It was a day of fancy duds, fillies and the pursuit of small fortunes at the event which clocked its 121st year on Saturday.
Warwick Turf Club secretary Kristen Doyle said admissions hit 1000, with more than 600 racegoers in trackside marquees.
“It was one of the biggest crowds we have had at the Warwick Picnic Races,” Ms Doyle said.
“The feedback has been that it’s one of the best Warwick Picnic Races people have been too, they loved the band, they loved fashions on the field, and of course the actual races.”
The style police chose an on-trend graphic black and white outfit for top honours in the fashions comp.
It was worn by Annie Barclay from Warwick who was named the day’s best-dressed lady, while Rose Betts from Condobolin was runner-up.
Both left the stage loaded up with bags of prizes from Rose City Shoppingworld.
The next race day in the region is the Killarney Cup on 27 June.
