Ryda Whitehouse, 9, was all class at Saturday’s Laura Races, catching the eye of the judges of the junior boy’s Fashions on the Field.

The Mareeba lad was just one of many stylish lads and ladies trackside in the crown of more than 3500 for one of the biggest events on the Cape York calendar.

The style and show came from across Far North Queensland… Cairns to Cooktown, Mareeba, the Tablelands and beyond.
