Facts And Figures Of Annual Race Meeting

For Fastest Times New Scale Of Weights

THE NEW SCALE OF WEIGHTS came into operation at the meeting, History was made when Wayworth with Mr Jack Feilden in the saddle weighed out at 170 lb. for the Warrego Plate, carrying 26 lb. overweight and the run was not a short distance but over two miles. What was the object
