Distinguished and Famous people from Goondiwindi Region
🌟 The Gunsynd syndicate
The Goondiwindi syndicate behind Gunsynd included Bill Bishop, G. Pippos, G. N. McMicking and a member of the Coorey family. Their $1,300 yearling purchase in 1969 became the horse known nationally as the Goondiwindi Grey. Gunsynd won the Cox Plate in 1972 and placed third in the Melbourne Cup that year, achievements that carried the town’s name into racing history. His name was itself drawn from “Goondiwindi syndicate”. The regional connection belongs to the owners and their partnership, commemorated locally alongside the horse they backed.
