Geraldton Gold Cup

The Geraldton Cup is an unlisted Thoroughbred horse race, which 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. In 1887, the Perth Cup had a winner's purse of £250 and placed Geraldton racing ahead of what was to become one of Western Australia's most popular races.[1]

The Geraldton Gold Cup is hosted by the Geraldton Turf Club. The prizemoney for the Geraldton Cup for 2015 was $90,000 and run over 2100m.

In 2007, Tapdog became the first horse to win the race three times.
