AJC Derby

               AJC Derby

 The first AJC Derby was run at Randwick racecourse in the spring of 1861 and was won by Sam Jenner’s bay colt, Kyogle.
Named The Derby Stakes it was run over 1 ½ miles, with colts carrying 8.10 and fillies 8.5, there were no allowances for geldings, though in later years gelding were given allowances of 3lb and 5lb. 
When Phar Lap won the AJC Derby in 1929, he ran the distance in race-record time of 2:28 ¼, this race-record stood for 27 years and was then bettered by Monte Carlo who clocked 2:28 3/10 in the 1956 Derby.

Training honours for the Derby rest with T.J. Smith who trained the winner on nine occasions: 
1949 Playboy – 1957 Tulloch – 1962 Summer Prince – 1963 Summer Fiesta
1965 Prince Grant – 1970 Silver Sharpe – 1973 Imagele – 1976 Great Lover 
1980 Kingston Town

Tom Hales holds the riding record for the AJC Derby with six winners: 
1875 Richmond – 1880 Grand Flaneur – 1882 Navigator – 1884 Bargo
1886 Trident – 1887 Abercorn.

As is the case with the Victoria Derby, the most successful owner of AJC Derby winners is Hon. James White with six winners:
1883 Martini-Henry – 1884 Bargo – 1885 Nordenfeldt – 1886 Trident
1887 Abercorn – 1889 Singapore

1961 - This was the infamous 'Leg-Pull' Derby where Mel Schumacher (Blue Era) reached out and grabbed the leg of Summer Fair's rider, Tommy Hill, as the pair went head and head to the line over the last 50 yards of the race. Hill protested after the race that Schumacher had held onto his leg, thus hampering his ability to ride his mount unimpeded to the line. The protest was upheld and Schumacher was disqualified from riding for life. The life ban was later reduced and Mel Schumacher returned to race-riding in March 1967.
