Port ‘Neigh’-bours head to Cooktown
'Gazza's Gossip' "A group of 26 Port Douglas residents, including myself, made their way north for the Cooktown Races last weekend."

All agreed that the six hour round trip was well worth it, as the day proved to be a great success with some fine racing, hospitality and superb weather.
Upon arrival, my wife and I discovered that our immediate hotel neighbour was taking part in Fashions on the Field and was hoping to win best dressed man for the second year running.
Matthew Thiel of Redlynch was clearly very confident, so I promised him that if he did win, he would make the Cairns Local News this week.
Well, victory was confirmed by mid Saturday afternoon, so I’ve stuck to my promise. Well done, Matt.

I’m off to work on my outfit for next year, so for now it’s Gazza signing out.
