"It was a shock. I have a few children's birthday parties coming up so it is good timing,” he said.

"We usually come to the races and today has been a bonus.”

Gympie Turf Club president Shane Gill said it was great to see a large crowd to support a worthy cause.

"From the $15 entry fee, $3 was going to be donated to the Queensland Country Women's Association flood relief fund,” he said.

"It was the perfect way to bring a great day of country racing and raise much needed funds for our farmers in need.

"The weather was beautiful, it is great to see a warm winter day.”

Gill said the turf club's focus turned to the Nolan Muster Cup Race Day on August 17.
