THE eighth annual Surf Coast Times Torquay Cup hosted at the Geelong Racing Club (GRC) was a roaring success, with punters indulging in the races, raffles, live entertainment and exciting atmosphere.<\/p>\n
The charity event and celebration of the 3228 community raised $17,500 for Torquay Food Aid and Torquay Community House.<\/p>\n
Surf Coast Times advertising director Warick Brown said the cup had become a much-loved event on the Torquay calendar and served as an opportunity to give back to the Torquay community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Surf Coast Times Torquay Cup is now the second biggest race day at the GRC outside of the Geelong Cup itself. We are proud of what it has become and how it\u2019s transitioned into a big event on the Torquay calendar,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Surf Coast Times Torquay Cup was won by four-year-old gelding My Mother Says, ridden by Daniel Stackhouse and trained by John Sadler.<\/p>\n
