In the first event the Open Cup there was a late pony change as Born To Be Wild was running a slight temperature and was replaced by stable mate Reggie Ledgie. It was important all drivers received a drive so they could go home with a trophy.
Cameron Jacques took over the reins of Reggie Ledgie tonight, this was his first drive on him in a race since 18 December when Reggie misbehaved but tonight he started off the front mark and trotted faultlessly throughout.
Turning for home Reggie Ledgie was out in front from Westbury Bogart who appeared quite happy to sit behind him all the way, Little Kizz, Cowboy Road, Summer Surprise and Mr Mischief making a big run out wide.
They crossed the line Reggie Ledgie first making it two Gawler Cups in a row for the combination after winning the race last season, Westbury Bogart and Shannon Platts second and the fast finishing Mr Mischief and Bailey Hoare close up in third position.

The second of the pony races tonight was the Shetland Cup, the ponies were handicapped over 160 metres and yet only finished metres apart so was a very good spectacle for the crowd.
As they said go, the two tiny tots were out in front PJ and Two Tone Miss with Eddy’s A Fake, Razzle Dazzle, Midnight Star, Pee Wee50 and Ben Ten all close by. At the 250 metre mark Eddy’s A Fake took over the lead but as seen in many races before Midnight Star and him like to stick together and hence went head to head all the way down the straight getting slower and slower. Its All About Me was making a run out very wide and crossed the line first but unfortunately galloped so was relegated by the stewards. Crackerjack and Kaycee Carey was also chasing Its All About Me out wide after coming from a back mark and crossed the line ¾ length first in front of Midnight Star and Sharni Newman who just nosed out Eddy’s A Fake and Jodie Billinger for second with Wandarra Tess sneaking through on the rails.
The final placings were Crackerjack 1st, Midnight Star 2nd and Eddy's A Fake 3rd.
