An amazing find by Sandown CEO Adrian Scott buried deep in an old safe in the clubs office. It’s the orginal Napier Park Racebook of the very first running of the Melbourne Cup 1933. The Cup was won by Footlight Flashes as the page is marked Owned by T.E.Denison and trained by T.Healy. 2nd was Romping Andy and 3rd Macaladin. The field of six were handicapped and the margins were 1 and 1/2 by 1/2 in the time of 21 seconds even for the 400 yards. I have included the back page pic of the hurdles they jumped in those days. Plus some interesting notes on a couple of other pages from the 92 year old document.
