Presidential Gold Cup unveils Dec. 22

The best gallopers in the land take their stab at local racing’s holy grail as they vie for the blue-ribbon PCSO Presidential Gold Cup, the country’s richest and most prestigious horse race set to flag-off on Dec. 22 at the San Lazaro Hippodrome.

The finals day of nomination to the classic has been set on Nov. 19 with a P15,000 fee, while the finals day of declaration would be on Nov. 22 at P20,000 per entry at the PCSO Draw and Races Department.

More than pride and prestige will actually be at stake when the country’s top thoroughbreds battle it out for the 30th renewal of the coveted Gold Cup Race as the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) simultaneously holds the inaugural draw of its multi-million 7-Digit Sweepstakes in a mega-merger of the country’s richest sweepstakes lottery and horse race at the San Lazaro Hippodrome.
