First day warms the hearts

Former Premier and Racing Minister Denis Napthine, who has long championed the Tynong track, and Eastern Region MP Ed O'Donohue at the opening.

IT WAS a day never to be forgotten as Pakenham Racing Club opened its new track at Tynong.
The cold weather was the only downer on a great day that saw a solid card of racing, a full house of punters and the promise of many great meetings to come.
Gazette photographer STEWART CHAMBERS was there to capture all the excitement of the grand opening.
