Horse Races

I went to the Hedland Cup on the 3rd of August.

I wore a black feather fascinator in my hair, Pumpkin Patch flowered dress and & flat pink shoes. Mum also wore a fascinator & black dress that has a purple V neck with purple court shoes. She carried a black clutch with tiny mirrored tiles. We saw lots of pretty ladies. My favourite outfit of the day was a lady that had a facinator with stripes of yellow, blue and red. Her dress was all black with one strap over the shoulder. She wore it with a yellow beaded necklace and yellow wedged heels.




The crowd of 8000 cheered on Teppanyaki as he won the cup. He is a bay coloured horse trained in Port hedland by Kevin. He swims at Pretty Pool beach for exercise near our house. He won $27, 500 for the race.



It was hard to walk around because there were so many people. I spoke to two of the four mounted policemen. I told them that my Uncle owns a race horse in Victoria. They spoke to me about the new horses they had which were Clydies. I had a pat and the horse licked my hand with it's rough tongue.

It was a fun day. I enjoyed getting dressed up and looking at the horses.
