Not many people could have predicted what would happen at the 2025 Werribee Cup, as more than 4000 turned out to witness the first dead heat in the race’s history.
In a decision that could not be split, both Holymanz and Precious Charm shared in the glory on Sunday 7 December.
Indispensable was hot on their tails and made up the final place, running third behind the two winners.
While the main race made history, Fashions of the Fields brought its traditional flair to the stage.
First up to strut their stuff were kids below the age of 18 in the Little Lady and Little Gent competitions.
Following the youngsters were the adults decked out in their race finery.
Honours were given to both ladies and gents in an open field as well as a heat just for the locals.
Runner up in last year’s Local Gent of the Day heat Michael McAlpine and winner of last year’s Local Lady of the Day Michelle Robinson were sitting at the judges desk this time around.
Werribee Racing Club general manager Adam Wilkinson said everything fell into place for a memorable cup.
“It was a great community day with perfect weather and a really positive atmosphere,” Mr Wilkinson said.
“The dead heat in the Picklebet Werribee Cup topped off a memorable afternoon for everyone on course.”
