Geelong Cup 2025
Welcome to Form A to Zyrg and our coverage of this year’s Geelong Cup.
The Geelong Cup holds a special place in the racing heart of Zyrg being his hometown “Gup”. I have been to the Gup in board shorts, I have been to the Gup in a dinner suit and I have been to the Gup in various types of garb in between. Always had a great time and always managed to find a winner even when three or four were required.
They tell me the day is fantastic these days and real day that you must attend. A place to be seeen?
In exciting and terrific news for the Geelong Racing Club, this year’s Cup is the newest Golden Ticket race into the big one, the Mebourne Gup, which is always run on the first Tuesday in November, 13 days after the Geelong race. Lucky for some.
From the Club’s website,
Held on Wednesday 22 October, this is the biggest day on the GRC calendar and one of Victoria’s most anticipated country race meetings. This public holiday brings the Geelong community together for a day of high-stakes racing, fashion, hospitality, and entertainment.
Whether you're soaking it up in a corporate marquee, relaxing in the Promenade Picnic area, or catching up with friends trackside, there's something for everyone. With live music, food trucks, and vibrant Cup Day energy, it’s Geelong’s biggest social event of the year — and now, it's racing with national impact.

At From A to Zyrg we are going to help you find the winner of this years Gup. Let’s start by having a look at the last 24 winners of the race. In those 24 years, the Golden period were 2002 ‘til 2011 where three Geelong winners went to salute in the big one on that first Tuesday in November.
The three dual winners were,
2011 - Dunaden
2010 - Americain
2002 - Media Puzzle
Only five winners during that period did not run at Flemington.
