The Louth Races are over for another year, with thousands of people sharing an unforgettable experience and taking home memories to last a lifetime.

Louth Race Club President Jim Strachan estimated a record crowd this year.

It was the 60th anniversary of the Louth Races and Saturday’s event was made even more memorable with the presence of the Melbourne Cup on the grounds to honour the milestone. More Louth Races 2018 stories and lots of pictures in the printed edition of the Western Herald.
