Cooma’s one day of the year Cooma-Monaro Race Club is celebrating another very successful annual race day in Cooma. Last Saturday saw the 18th running of the Sundowners Cup, a 1400m maiden event, as well as the 56th running of the Cooma Cup, over 1600m. Race club secretary Roger Norton said the day had been a great success due to the work of the committee and the club, as well as the overwhelming support of the whole community. He said about 3000 people attended Ti Tree Racecourse, which was a bit down on 2009, but it was still a good day out. Mr Norton said the track was the best he had seen it in 50 years and had drawn compliments from the jockeys and the stewards. The meeting attracted 18 bookmakers and punters were well served with some authorative wins in the six races. There were more than 60 acceptances for the six races. The first race was a good result for locals, with locally-owned and trained horse Mia Famiglia winning for the Flanagan family. Local horse Clang Went Bang, owned and trained in Cooma by Wendy Heise was second, giving locals the quinella. The Flanagans were celebrating again after race six, when Smoky Bay (NZ), trained at Cooma by Georgie Boucher raced to a one length win. Mr Norton said not only was the racing a great success, but the number of visitors to town also saw the whole community benefitting from those coming to town for the weekend He said the crowd had been well-behaved. A working bee on Sunday saw the racecourse ‘spic and span” Mr Norton said.
