A NOSTALGIC display of old race meets and newspaper clippings led the thousands of race-goers into the last Pakenham Cup at the racecourse on Sunday.
But there was plenty to celebrate as bets were placed, fashionable fillies sized up their competition and Pakenham faces turned out for the memorable final Cup.
Gazette photographer STEWART CHAMBERS was on hand to capture the racing action, Fashions on the Field and all the people who turned out to wish the racecourse farewell.
