Dubbo Turf Club is deeply saddened by the passing of former General Manager, Vincent Gordon, who passed away on Saturday, 26th March 2022 aged 60.
Born and raised into a horse loving family in Condobolin, Gordon was appointed General Manager of the Club in 2014 and oversaw exponential financial growth and capital development at the Club for the best part of a decade.
Gordon defiantly led the Club through the 2017 to 2019 drought and the COVID-19 pandemic and was instrumental in securing significant financial assistance for major projects including the construction of a slow work track and building of new stable complexes.
“Our Club and the racing community in Dubbo and the Central West are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend Vincent,” Dubbo Turf Club President, Chris Davis said.
“Vincent’s dedication and enthusiasm were unparalleled as he committed to growing the footprint of racing in Dubbo and the Central West.
“Not only will Vincent be remembered as a dedicated and accomplished racing administrator, highly respected by his colleagues and peers, but also a wonderful father, grandfather, husband and friend.”
A celebration of Vincent’s life will be held at St. Brigid’s Church in Dubbo on Monday, 4th April 2022 commencing at 11am.
