Geraldton Gold Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Geraldton Cup, a thoroughbred horse race, was first run on Dec 8, 1887 with a winners purse of £300. The race, staged over 3200m by the Victoria Turf Club was won by Baron Necktar a full brother to Dunlop, the Melbourne Cup winner of the same year. In 1887, the Perth Cup had a winners purse of £250 and placed Geraldton racing ahead of what was to become one of Western Australia's most popular races.
The Geraldton Gold Cup is hosted by the Geraldton Turf Club.
