Moriarty among Gosford Gold Cup noms

Thursday 3 January 2013, 3:44pm

Last start stakes winner Moriarty headlines 13 nominations for next Thursday's Gosford Gold Cup.

The feature meeting has been bolstered by the addition of the Listed Takeover Target Stakes (1200m) and the Listed Belle Of the Turf Stakes (1600m) in a bid by the Central Coast club to have a Saturday fixture next year.

The Takeover Target has been moved from winter and the Belle Of The Turf from spring with Gosford hoping to host a Saturday meeting to coincide with the 2014 Magic Millions day.

Moriarty, winner of the Tattersalls Club Cup on New Year's Day, is among 13 nominations for the Listed Gold Cup (2100m) along with his Chris Waller-trained stablemates Pipette and Marden.

Pipette, also a New Year's Day winner at Rosehill, is likely to be entered for the Belle of the Turf with those entries closing on Friday.

Peter Snowden has entered Yulalona and Euryale in the Cup while the Gerald Ryan-trained Ironstein is set to kick off a summer campaign which is planned to include the Hobart and Launceston Cups in Tasmania.

Last start Canterbury winner Travolta is one of two nominations for Gai Waterhouse with Reuben Percival the other.

Nominations for the Cup have been extended until Friday.
