Leucura Wins Gold Cup

May 25, 2017 By editor

A good crowd attended the running of the 123rd Gold Cup at the Parkes Jockey Club on Sunday.

The feature race over 1,600m, the Parkes Services Gold Cup, was won by a Wagga- based horse, Leucura trained by Chris Heywood and ridden by the premier county jockey Greg Ryan. The prize money totalled $25,000.

The other main race, the Parkes Services Satellite Handicap was won by Heza Thief for Cowra-based trainer Ken Parsons.

The Parkes Services Club supported the racing by encouraging members to come to the races with free entry and a lucky gate prize to the members won by well-known, Bob Freeman.

The Jockey Club is looking forward to seeing everyone trackside for the famous June long weekend picnic races.
