Food from last weekend’s postponed ‘Golden Slipper’ race day went to those in need

The late rescheduling of the Golden Slipper last week due to heavy rain meant the food which had been prepared for the race was given to those in need. ATC Head of Social Responsibility Amarjot Bagga said “like any other day we ensured that the food went to people facing food insecurity such as the homeless, people with special needs and single parent homes.” Rosehill Grades Executive Chef Gerry Maher told Sky News it was usually something that happens post-race day but once the race was postponed the focus shifted to saving and resourcing food to community partners. “We were ready and set to feed our 4,500 corporate clients that we had … but we just repositioned that back into the community and hopefully we fed a lot more homeless people with what we donated on Saturday,” he said. @Racingnswnews
