Small souvenir spoon with an image of a man riding a horse named Gunsynd, a champion Australian thoroughbred racehorse. He raced from 1969 to 1973, winning 29 races. In his seven starts over one mile, he was only once defeated, by half-a-head in the Epsom Handicap. A statue in his honour was erected in his hometown of Goondiwindi, Queensland. The spoon was made in Australia and is housed in a case that reads 'Randa Collector Spoons'. Donor's name and occasion information were not provided to the City Clerk's office.
