Toorak Handicap

           Toorak Handicap

 The Toorak Handicap was first run in 1881 on the first day of the VATC’s new two-day program (13th & 15th of October) which included the Caulfield Guineas, also on the first day’s program, and the Caulfield Cup on the second day’s race card.
Given the popularity of the AJC’s big mile handicaps, the Doncaster in the autumn and the Epsom in the spring, the VATC thought it time to include a big mile handicap of their own and the Toorak Handicap quickly gained prominence during the popular 2 day carnival.

In 1891 the distance was increased to 1 mile and 1 furlong (9 furlongs) but was changed back to 1 mile the following year. The distance was changed again in 1931, this time to 8 ½ furlongs but was changed back to 1 mile in 1936.

Racing ceased at Caulfield during WWII when the racecourse was turned into an army base.
From April 1940 until August 1944 all Caulfield races were transferred to Flemington, this saw the Toorak being run at Flemington from 1940 to 1943 and returning to Caulfield in 1944.
A huge increase in nominations for the 1943 Toorak Handicap saw the race contested in two divisions, with Burberry winning the first division and Counsel the second. The same situation occurred in the Caulfield Cup the following week with two divisions being run to accommodate the large number of entries.

Five horses have won the Toorak Handicap on more than one Occasion:
Saxony 1948/49
Desert Breeze 1952/53
Nicopolis 1963/64
Umrum 1999/2000
Solzhenitsyn 2012/13

Training honours for the Toorak Handicap rest with Darren Weir who has saddled-up the winner on four occasions:
2014 Trust In A Gust – 2015 Lucky Hussler – 2017 Tosen Stardom – 2018 Land Of Plenty

When it comes to riding honours, one jockey stands alone, having ridden the Toorak winner on seven occasions, and that jockey is Reg Heather.
Reg Heather’s seven winners are:
1943 Burberry – 1946 Royal Gem – 1947 Don Pedro – 1950 Grey Boots
1951 Jovial Lad – 1953 Desert Breeze – 1954 Plato

Whilst on the subject of special performances, mention must be made of the incredible South Australian galloper, Umrum.
Umrum started in every Toorak Handicap from 1998 to 2003, winning two (1999 & 2000) as well as running second in 2002 and third in 1998 & 2003. He was unplaced only once in six consecutive years
