Geraldton Gold Cup

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 5 min

The Geraldton Cup is an unlisted Thoroughbred horse race, held at the Geraldton Racecourse, 435 km north of Perth, Western Australia. Hosted by the Geraldton Turf Club, the Gold Cup is raced over 2100m.

The Cup was first run on 8 December 1887 with a winner's purse of £300. The race staged over 3,200 metres was won by Baron Necktar, a full brother to Dunlop the Melbourne Cup winner of the same year. Baron Necktar travelled by steamer from Albany.[1][2]

Alana Williams was the first female jockey to win the Cup in 2004 with Colorado Rover for Kim Anderson.

Tapdog, a gelding by Bletcharm, became the first horse to win the race three times with victories in 2002, 2006 and 2007.[3]

The 2013 winner, Black Tycoon went on to win the 2013 Hyperion Stakes (Group 3), 2014 Perth Cup (Group 2) and listed Tattersal's Cup (Ascot).
