GOLD CUP: Bells continue to ring for O’Keeffe

Victoria was heavily represented at Albion Park last night in the four heats of the Group 1 $121,000 Gold Cup, held over the 710 metre distance.

The first heat of the night saw $1.30 favourite No Donuts lead the field with fellow Victorian Kilkee Flex. No Donuts was unlucky missing out on a top two position and a rug in next weeks group 1.
