GRC has Geelong Cup raring to go

The bet365 Geelong Cup is taking place on Wednesday, October 19. The cup was run without general admission racegoers in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions. It's been 2019 since the last time the GRC had a crowd at a Geelong Cup. This year's race celebrates the 20-year anniversary of Media Puzzle winning the Geulong and Melbourne Cups. The winnings for the bet 365 Geonglion Cup have increased by $100,000 to $500,00. There will be a beer garden, People’s Poets, playing all day, the Furphy container bar and a bookmaker.
