With the first race meeting falling in the Easter holidays there was, in time honoured tradition, plenty of Easter treats available for kids with an Easter Egg hunt, a kids funfair and an Easter Bonnet competition.
On the track, it was the first leg of the 2023 Stayers Championship.
Take a look at all the excitement on the day!
