1998 ALL AUSTRALIAN FUTURITY RACE MEETING
The meeting was conducted by GSRC Club Members over the June long weekend in 1998. The meeting was held on a licensed TB race track which in itself was a major achievement. However, the real achievement was the attraction of horses and horsemen from as far away as the far North of Australia and South Australia.
The Open Sprint was a “who’s who” of Australian Sprint Racing with Mr Quarter Mile, Hemp Special, Battle Deck Sudden Impact and Sir Wembley providing an exciting teaser in the Open Sprint prior to the running of the Futurity.
Over 40 nominations were received for the race meeting which was attended by approximately 3000 Spectators over the two (2) days of racing. The meeting was sanctioned by the now defunct ARQHA.
