Broome race day two a vibrant affair

Broome race day two on Saturday had a vibrant atmosphere and was well-attended by tourists and locals. The fashion didn’t disappoint as the slightly cooler 26C weather created ideal conditions for gentlemen who sported three-piece suits and women in multi-tiered gowns. Broome Turf Club committee member Julia McIntyre said the races were integral to the social health of the Broome community, as well as vital for bolstering tourism. “The races are a point of difference for our town. Our racing club is a part of the social fibre, everyone rallies around it, especially our younger population,” she said. “We have one of the most magnificent race courses in the world here, which draws a lot of tourists in. For example, the week of Broome Cup is the most busiest week in Broome airport.” With camaraderie ablaze on both race days so far, the Broome Cup promises to be an electrifying event.
