Highlights of AJT Legal Gympie race day July 2023 | Gallery

There was no shortage of winners at the Gympie races as hundreds stepped out in style enjoy a day of trackside fun and fashion. PHOTO GALLERY.

Gympie’s Showgrounds were full of hundreds of winners, including those who backed the wrong horse, as families and friends donned their finest outfits to enjoy some fun in the sun.

Residents of all ages, and more than a few travellers from outside the region, gathered to enjoy the highlights and take a punt or three at the AJT Legal race day on Saturday July 15, 2023.

Even the occasional overcast turn of weather could not discourage the revellers who took up seats in the marquees, on the grandstand, and at the bar to enjoy the day out.
