Well as is usually the case after a day at the races all who ventured out just missed the big one that got away - both in the betting ring and the bar. But as always it was a top day out with Newcastle turning on a beautiful sunny day for the 35 Blues who made it along.
The Syndicate ended up with the grand total of 65 cents after a dismal tipping effort but on the brighter side the Club raised a couple of hundred dollars for both the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service and the NCAFC for Season 2007.
