ON Friday the Rug Up and Run TAB Race Day was held at Warwick’s Allman Park.
The eight race TAB card featured Warwick trainer Les Clarke who had to settle for fifth in race seven.
Jockey James Orman was the big winner on the day taking Neophyte across the line first in race two and collecting a double taking Hot Testa over first in race seven.
Having a meet on a Friday was an experiment for the Warwick Turf Club but was described as successful by everyone who attended.
The event was sponsored by Warwick Credit Union, Raheen Stud, Carey Bros, Bubbles Barbierato Photography and XXXX.
There will be an event each month at Allman Park with a handful of race meets still left this calendar year.
The Father’s Day Charity Trots will be on September 6 and this will be followed by the 155th Warwick Cup on 10 October.
