It is with the greatest pleasure that the AERA extends its warmest congratulations to Ben Hudson of NSW riding Cap Braveheart who has won the 50th anniversary Tom Quilty Gold Cup in a riding time of 10:16:34. There were 342 starters with 214 completions for the amazing success rate of 63% successful. Congratulations to all who completed and commiserations to all that missed out.
