The 2017 Geelong Cup
Racing in Geelong dates back to the 1840’s and took place at several locations including nearly 50 years on the flood prone flats beside the Barwon River. In 1907 the current site on Breakwater Rd. was chosen and the first official meeting was held in 1908 on St. Patricks Day. The highlight of the year is the Geelong Cup, run on the grass track in October, which is becoming a popular step to qualifying for the Melbourne Cup in November. In 2008 Bauer ran second in the Melbourne Cup after winning at Geelong, the 2010 winner Americain went on to victory in the Melbourne Cup and in 2011 another French trained runner Dunaden won the Geelong Cup before winning Australia's richest race on the first Tuesday in November.
The Track: This oval course generally exhibits little bias when the rail is True (as it usually is for Cup Day) and the going is Good, can favour the on pace runners when the going is rain affected. The 2400m start is located in the home straight with runners making a complete circuit of the course, there is a long straight run to the first turn and runners on a dry track will have their chance to make up ground on the leaders in the concluding stages.
