THEY'RE a "glass half-full'' lot at Carrathool, between Hay and Griffith in NSW.

The fact racing at the annual race day last weekend was cancelled due to a dangerously dry track, didn't stop the crowd having a good time.

Even if the hay-burners couldn't run, the stewards weren't going to be able to stop the two-legged gallopers going round in the popular Jackaroo Dash and Jillaroo Sprint (above).

They're certainly not in any danger of getting bogged.

Turf? It's so over-rated.
