Coffs Harbour Trainer Gordon Yorke is celebrating, after his horse ‘One Lickety Split’, broke the record in the 1200 metre feature race at Coffs Harbour’s Pink Silks Day.
The five-year-old horse outclassed a field of quality sprinters to set the new record of 1-minute and 10.32 seconds.
But it wasn’t all about the racing, with around 2000 people packing the racecourse in a sea of pink.
And while the Fashions on the Field drew plenty of attention, it was all for a good cause with around $50,000 raised for local women’s health charities and breast cancer research.
Organisers say after the big clean-up, they’ll begin preparations for the other big race day of the year – the Coffs Cup Carnival in August.
