COLLIE Senior High School Anzac Tour 2015 hosted Collie's first Virtual Race Night at the weekend.
In a successful fundraising effort, 160 people entered the high school gym to find it transformed into a VIP Race Tent.
Collie Senior High School Society and Environment teacher Ed Croft said from the first race the atmosphere was electric and the crowd really entered the spirit of the night.
Winning horse owners were ecstatic with the prizes that had been donated by Collie businesses and the tote was kept busy all night, with everyone keen to make a few dollars on their bets, he said.
Auctions were held be tween races and the bidding was hot regardless of the prize on offer.
Donna Davies won Fashions on the Field with Richard Heptinstall winning Best Dressed Colt.
Mr Croft said it was a great night and successful for the students.
"Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and the students worked hard during the night to keep people fed while the parents kept everybody watered," he said
The next major event on the Anzac calendar is the bi-annual quiz night which will be held on September 13 and another race night is being looked at for early in November.
