Ahead of tomorrow’s huge Coast Race Day at The Entertainment Grounds, we caught up Graham Duffy-Smith from Guardian Safety Solutions as we count down to the running of the Guardian Safety Solutions Gosford Gold Cup 🏆
It’s been fantastic to have Guardian Safety Solutions on board supporting one of Gosford’s most historic races. The Gosford Gold Cup continues to build on its rich history, with Glynn Schofield still the only jockey to claim the race three times, while Jay Ford returns aboard Kind Words chasing a rare Gold Cup and Belle of the Turf double.
With $300,000 in prize money and eligibility into the Big Dance, tomorrow’s feature race is set to be one of the highlights of Coast Race Day.
Graham will join us on course tomorrow and present the trophies following the running of the Guardian Safety Solutions Gosford Gold Cup at approximately 4:00pm. 🏇
