Melton’s Tabcorp Park recently hosted the 2017 A.G. Coombs Trot.

The annual Victorian Harness Racing event is Australasia’s premier night of international trotting, providing a mix of races, entertainment, networking and fundraising for the Women’s Cancer Foundation – Ovarian Cancer Institute. This year saw the sixth running of the Lyn McPherson Memorial Cup – named after Institute Patron and Director Duncan McPherson’s late wife, Lyn, who succumbed to ovarian cancer in 2010.

A.G. Coombs was pleased to again support the event. The company’s Managing Director, Russell Telford, attended to present the trophy to the owners and connections of the winner, Enrolled.

“Our congratulations to Duncan, his family and everybody that contributed to this valuable event”, he said. “The Women’s Cancer Foundation plays a vital role in raising awareness and important funds for ovarian cancer research, and A.G. Coombs is very proud to be a supporter of this worthwhile event”.
