Kids are favourites, of course

THERE was plenty of action at the Werribee Racing Club on Sunday.
As well as hosting some the best horses and jockeys from around the state, Werribee also held its annual Kids Day Out race meeting.
In what were perfect conditions, racegoers of all ages were treated to a wealth of on-course entertainment and fun at the highly successful family day.
While there were plenty of attractions off the course at the Werribee Racing Club, the action was just as hot on the track with a seven-race card greeting punters.
It was a great start to the day for those trying to find a winner with favourites dominating the early races.
Malabar Man, Party Talk, Hard Stride and Kuaima took out the first four races on the card, all saluting at short odds.
It wasn’t until race five that the bookies received some respite with Coghills Creek ($15.70), Bedouin Express ($12.10) and Tequila Queen ($22.20) taking out the last three races.
The Kids Day Out meeting continues Werribee’s busy season of racing with the club coming off Werribee Cup Day in mid-December.
The 2013 TAB Werribee Cup was won by Pelicano.
There will be no slowing down for racing in Werribee with the season now in full swing.
The club’s next meeting will be the Australia Day Races on 26 January.
Werribee will also host three meetings in March.
