Group 1 Gold Bullion history

The Group 1 Gold Bullion has an extensive background, having been run with many names and at different tracks throughout its history.

Originally run as the Castlemaine XXXX Trophy in 1978 at The Gabba, the Gold Bullion has undergone numerous transformations. Initially contested over 558 meters on grass, the race moved to Albion Park in 1993 and transitioned to a sand surface. Renamed the Winter Cup in 2000, it became the flagship race of the Brisbane Winter Carnival, growing in prestige and popularity.

Over the years, the race has been won by some of greyhound racing’s most iconic names. Champions like Flying Amy (1995), Winged Runner (1999), and Glen Gallon (2012 and 2013) have left their mark, with Glen Gallon setting a track record of 29.80 seconds in his second win. Legendary trainer Tony Brett has enjoyed remarkable success, claiming multiple titles, including with his star greyhound Fast Times in 2017.

The race’s rebranding as the Gold Bullion reflects its evolution into a marquee summer event, offering substantial prizes and showcasing the best stayers in the sport.

The 2025 Gold Bullion won by Good Odds Cobber was officially the last Group 1 that will be raced at Albion Park with all racing moving to The Q.

The 2026 edition promises to continue this tradition, combining a rich history with world-class racing, ensuring its place as a highlight of the Australian greyhound racing calendar.
