Furphy Bunbury Cup heads to Ascot one more time due to track redevelopment project

Bunbury’s annual signature race meeting was held in Ascot for the second consecutive year due to the Bunbury Turf Club’s track redevelopment project.

Despite a strong desire for participants and punters to return down south as quickly as possible, the Furphy Bunbury Cup, Tabtouch Bunbury Stakes — along with the William Barrett and Sons Vase — were run in their usual spirit.

Blazing Away, trained by David Harrison, claimed the Bunbury Cup, while pre-race fancy Burnya To Survive (ridden by Myalup’s Lucy Warwick) took out the Bunbury Stakes.

Justin Fris was on hand to snap all of the action trackside.
