The Grand Military Gold Cup is a race that dates back to 1841 and has featured many of the country’s finest amateur riders.
The Queen Mother was an avid supporter of the event, her horses winning on no less than five occasions, most memorably Special Cargo in 1984, 1985 and 1986. A statue in bronze of this magnifi cent horse stands overlooking the Weighing Room near our Winners Enclosure.
For further details about conditions, rider and owner qualifications or any other queries please contact Grand Military Committee Secretary, Charlie Lane; 07990 562046 or email charlie@coachroadfarm.co.uk
The Military Wives Choir who secured the 2011 Christmas Number 1 will be here on the day performing a selection of live songs between the racing. This race day will raise much needed finds for SSAFA Forces Help.
