The Wyong Roos Foundation held its annual race day on Tuesday, June 24, at Wyong Race Club, with more than 160 guests attending an exclusive function in The Pavilion.
The Foundation is dedicated to supporting projects that improve the lives of people in the local community who are facing hardship — whether social, economic or physical.
Already in 2025, it has distributed more than $330,000 to organisations such as Central Coast Kids In Need and the Central Coast Volunteer Rescue Squad, cementing its role as an integral part of the community.
The function, hosted by Triple M presenter Paddy Gerard, was an overwhelming success.
On the track, with the racing season drawing to a close, there were a number of tight finishes — none more dramatic than in Race 3.
Local trainer Sara Ryan looked set to celebrate when her promising two-year-old filly Sapling was first past the post.
However, the result proved bittersweet after jockey Regan Bayliss, aboard runner-up Champagne Hero, lodged an objection.
Stewards upheld the protest, resulting in a reversal of the placings and victory going to Champagne Hero.
Racing returns to Wyong Race Club on Saturday, July 5.
