The Colours Of Horseracing


                                                                Index


The Colours Of Horseracing is a detailed summary of  Australian Group 1 races that are run throughout the nation each year.
All 74 Australian Group 1 races are reviewed. Queensland (8) New South Wales (29) Victoria (30)  South Australia (4) and Western Australia (3) are covered. Also summarised are some of the major non Group 1 races that are run each year - Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and  Hobart Cups as well as the West Australian Derby and Tasmanian Derby.
This Blog will always remain a 'work in progress' as all races are constantly being updated after they've been run.

The blog also summarises the Kentucky Derby as well as having a page dedicated to the mighty champions, Phar Lap & Bernborough, with a complete summary of their racing careers.

Eight years and many thousands of hours of research have gone into making this blog as accurate and as interesting as possible.
Each race that I summarise, traces its history from the very first running, right up to the current year.

The summary for each race consists of:
The year
Winners’ name
Winning owners’ names
Winning owners’ racing colours + coloured facsimile
Winners’ colour, sex, age and breeding
Trainers’ name
Riders’ name and weight carried
Number of race starters
Barrier position
Starting price
Second and third placegetters & weight carried
Margins and time


This Index page is a quick way of locating and accessing the races that I’ve summarised.
