✨ Race 1 Recap! ✨

First race of the day and the track was already buzzing!!!

The Maiden Plate over 900 metres sent the first field down the straight and just like that, the day was off and running.

Congratulations to Rogue Hero, owned by Allan McRae and ridden brilliantly by Rebecca McRae. What a way to kick off the day. 🏁 McRae Racing

Thank you again to Commence Communications for getting behind the Maiden Plate this year. We're grateful for your support and glad you were part of it.

A few weeks have passed and we're still finding scrunched up tickets, a coin or two, and who knows what else at the bottom of our bags. Worth every bit of it. This year was 125 years of racing at Marchmont and it was a day to match: dust on your shoes, sun on your back, and good people everywhere you looked.

Join us over the next little while as we take a look back at the day, the races, and say thank you once again to our incredible sponsors. 🌸

✨ FASHIONS ON THE FIELD 2026 ✨

What a day. The 125th Yass Picnic Races delivered on every front, and our Fashions on the Field was no exception. The entries this year were seriously impressive and our judges Samantha Armytage and Emily Loxton had a job and a half picking winners.
Huge congratulations to everyone who entered and dressed up. You made the day.

Here's who took home the sashes
👑 Best Dressed Lady Jackie Murray
Runner Up Katherine Williams
🎩 Best Dressed Gent Campbell Jones
Runner Up Brayden Pollard
💐 Best Millinery Sally Martin
🌟 Best Dressed Local Susie Castle-Roche
💛 Best Dressed Couple Maree Doyle & Mick Holman
🤠 Best Dressed Junior Boys Jack McRae & Leighton Gallimore
🌸 Best Dressed Junior Girls Mila Boyton & Chelsea Gallimore

From the little ones in their flower crowns and Wrangler shirts to the statement hats and bold colour combos from the ladies and gents, the standard was high and the creativity was real. Country people know how to dress for a day out.

Thank you to every single person who entered. We'll see you next year. 👗🎩

A big thank you to our fantastic Sponsors Patemans Power Solutions & PWR Infrastructure

People partied hard yesterday! If Miss E Cairns would like some of her belongings back, we have them at the race track. Also, if you are missing some shoes, there are also quite a few of those left stranded at the race track!!!! 😝
