‘Aussie goodwill’ alive in Gloucester THE first Tuesday in November may well be the day the famous Melbourne Cup is staged, but it also marks the running of Gloucester’s Bakers Creek Cup. The Bakers Creek Cup is a charity event featuring local stockmen and women mounted on Australian stock horses who race in support of Gloucester’s cancer support groups. A group of 70 gathered to cheer the riders on at “Trilogy”, the property of Bob and Sandy Tebbet, where the event was run on the banks of the beautiful Bakers Creek. A series of sprint races were contested during the afternoon with the winner, for the second year in succession, being Tracey O’Donnell on Cutter, an Australian stock/cross quarter horse. “We stage a few novelty events during the afternoon that generate lots of fun, however the highlight of the day is the horse races,” said organiser Bob Tebbet. “Seeing the stock horses in full flight is spectacular and very exciting.”
