The dash for cash saw both adults and kids competing in a 100m sprint.

In the relay races, the Jamestown-Peterborough Netball Club took home the women’s crown, while the Sacred Heart Old Collegians claimed victory in the men’s race.

The hope is that the horses will be able to return to the track in 2025.
