Locally trained Rocky Cobra won the $10,000 Country Energy Braidwood Cup on Saturday in front of around 2000 punters and partiers at the Braidwood Jockey Club's annual race day.
After a week of intermittent rain and a heavy downpour on Friday night, the clouds cleared for a cool but fine race day.
With a six race card, Rocky Cobra trained by Neale Lavis, and ridden by.Michael Hackett was a popular win. Rocky Cobra had won his Maiden race at the Braidwood meeting two years ago and after a few more wins on the country circuit, came back to take the cup 3 lengths clear of the field.
The 2008 Braidwood Showgirl Brittney McGlone was presented to the crowd by Show Society President Barry McDowall.
The Braidwood Bears rugby league team made a pre-season splash with the handicapped footrace, with Anthony Giannasca taking the honours.
