12 By Andrew Lemon Leilani THE WILL TO WIN
13 LEILANI: THE WILL TO WIN The Group 1 TAB Australian Cup has a history stretching back 162 years. Prominent among the champions on its honour roll is the stellar mare, Leilani – fifty years ago. For those who saw it, the win stays fresh in the mind. Think of the greatest race mares of recent decades – sprinters and stayers. Before Winx and Black Caviar, there was Makybe Diva. Before Makybe Diva, there was Sunline. These champions won the hearts not just of racing fans, but of all Australia. Before them, there was Leilani – the beautiful black or brown New Zealand-bred filly by Oncidium from Lei. It is fifty years since she won the Australian Cup as a four-year-old mare, in March 1975. It was her thirteenth win in her first twenty starts, and what a collection of victories these had been. After taking the Princess Handicap (Adrian Knox Stakes) and AJC Oaks at Randwick as a three-year-old, Leilani in the spring of 1974 won the Turnbull Stakes, Toorak Handicap, Caulfield Cup and Mackinnon Stakes. She came into the 1974 Melbourne Cup as a firm favourite but, ridden by Sydney jockey Peter Cook, was beaten into second place by her dour stablemate, Think Big. Right from the start, Leilani had secured more than her share of publicity, as much for her good looks and ability – she won at her first start in South Australia – as for her glamorous, high-profile owners. Bart Cummings secured a lease of Leilani as a yearling filly from her breeder, Ian MacRae, and throughout her turf career she raced in Australia under the partnership of Andrew and Susan Peacock and Ian and Elizabeth Rice. ABOVE: Peter Cook rode Leilani to victory in the 1974 L.K.S Mackinnon Stakes on Derby Day. She the ran second to stablemate Think Big in the Melbourne Cup just days later.

14 LEILANI: THE WILL TO WIN At a Melbourne Cup symposium at the National Museum in 2010, Andrew Peacock looked back, with mock seriousness, on that 1974 defeat, in contradistinction to losing Federal elections, twice, as Leader of the Opposition, to Bob Hawke: With Leilani, there was soon consolation. Five days after that Melbourne Cup defeat, she returned to Flemington and easily won the 2500-metre Queen’s Cup. The next autumn she was back in action, immediately triumphing in the Orr Stakes at Sandown, the St George Stakes at Caulfield and the Queen’s Plate at Flemington, all at weight-for-age. Stablemate Think Big takes out the 1974 Melbourne Cup, beating 13/8 favourite Leilani (blue, red and white colours on the fence), handing legendary trainer Bart Cummings a fourth Cup success. (VRC Collection) ‘I even got 52 per cent in an election once and lost it. I have had a few disappointments. I can tell you there is no more distressing, depressing moment than having the favourite that runs second in the Melbourne Cup. Whatever the tribulation in life may be, nothing is quintessentially as bad as that.’
15 LEILANI: THE WILL TO WIN The 1975 Australian Cup of 2000 metres was next on the list. Until 1979 this historic autumn feature (originally a 3627-metre marathon) was always a handicap race. Leilani was allocated topweight, with 58.5 kilograms on her back, two kilograms over weight-for-age. Roy Higgins had ridden her in seven of her previous wins and was again in the saddle. Leilani hit the lead in the straight but was challenged by Tudor Peak, a Bendigo Cup winner, and St Martin, a tough gelding trained by Tommy Smith. Thirty metres from the post, the mare was barely a head in front. Defeat seemed certain. Yet Higgins had a way of lifting a horse in a tight finish, and the crowd pushed with its own willpower. Leilani held on to win by half a length. One reporter tried to describe the excitement. It sounds modest by today’s expectations, but it was loud and sustained. Bart was still in the early stages of his career, with a mere four (of an ultimate twelve) Melbourne Cups to his credit. This was his third Australian Cup success. Altogether he would win this race a record thirteen times, but Leilani’s victory as topweight under handicap conditions was among the greatest. And Leilani’s Australian Cup win was surely the best in her career, eclipsing even the previous year’s easy Caulfield Cup victory. She was duly anointed Australian Champion Racehorse for 1974-75. Leilani’s racing career continued with seven more starts at top level for three seconds, two thirds and a repeat win in the St George Stakes. She would have won a second VRC Queen’s Plate had her saddle not slipped: even so, she finished second. Injured in the 1976 Tancred Cup at Rosehill, she returned to her breeder for a stud career in New Zealand. Roy Higgins understood and amplified the public affection for Leilani. After that famous Australian Cup win, he told reporters he had ‘fallen head over heels in love’. He said the day would come when he and Leilani would be beaten, and he knew she would be as disappointed as he. Leilani had a fighting desire to win, he said, and would give everything if challenged. ‘I’ve found that courage in only three other racehorses. Light Fingers and Aquanita had it and, in modern times, Gunsynd had it.’ Grand company. ‘Scenes never before seen on a racecourse greeted Leilani and Roy Higgins as they returned to scale. Cheers and handclapping reached a crescendo as trainer Bart Cummings greeted the pair in the winner’s stall.’
16 THE POWER OF INTERNATIONAL partnerships
17 AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Horse racing has long been a sport that transcends borders, bringing together cultures, traditions, and passionate communities across the world. In recognition of this shared love for racing, the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) has forged partnerships with some of the world’s most prestigious racing institutions, strengthening global ties and celebrating the sport at an international level. At the heart of this commitment is the VRC’s role as a founding member of World Horse Racing, an alliance established in May 2018. This collaboration unites five of the world’s most iconic racing clubs and festivals: • Ascot Racecourse (United Kingdom) • Breeders’ Cup (USA) • Goodwood Racecourse (United Kingdom) • The Hong Kong Jockey Club (Hong Kong) • Victoria Racing Club (Australia) This alliance aims to introduce a new generation to the excitement, glamour, and deep cultural heritage of horse racing. Through exclusive behind-the-scenes content, World Horse Racing offers insights into the sport’s greatest trainers, jockeys, horses, and rising stars, highlighting the dedication and skill that make racing a global spectacle. Beyond the World Horse Racing alliance, the VRC has strengthened its ties with individual racing bodies to deepen international collaboration. Recent agreements with Ascot Racecourse and York Racecourse formalise the long-standing bond between these iconic venues and ABOVE: The iconic Sha Tin racecourse in Hong Kong, home of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

18 AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Flemington. These partnerships offer a platform for knowledge-sharing, enhanced race programming, and unique opportunities for members and racing enthusiasts. The VRC and Ascot Racecourse have enjoyed a formal partnership since 2006, reflecting the deep-rooted connection between these two iconic tracks. This collaboration has fostered successful race-planning initiatives, leading to Australian participation in Royal Ascot sprints and UK contenders in the Lexus Melbourne Cup and other major Flemington races. The alliance also provides reciprocal privileges for members, with over 300 VRC members attending the 2024 Royal Meeting to experience the finest in racing, fashion, food, and entertainment. As part of the enduring partnership, the Lexus Melbourne Cup regularly appears in the UK as part of its Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour (LMCT). Last year, it visited Ascot during the QIPCO King George Weekend and the Qatar Goodwood Festival, offering racegoers the unique opportunity to be photographed with the renowned three-handled cup. In addition to the UK, the LMCT also made stops in Tokyo, New York, New Zealand and Ireland before embarking on its journey across Australia. By visiting so many parts of the world, the Tour further strengthens the global reach of this iconic trophy and enhances recognition of our club. Why celebrate these partnerships? For the VRC, these international alliances are more than just ceremonial gestures – they reflect the club’s ambition to elevate the prestige of thoroughbred racing and create unique experiences for members. Racing is a sport steeped in tradition, yet one that constantly evolves. By working closely with globally recognised racing institutions, the VRC ensures that the spirit of competition, the artistry of training, and the thrill of world-class events continue to captivate audiences. The Qatar Goodwood Festival will be held at Glorious Goodwood from 29 July-2 August. (Julian Herbert/Getty Images)
19 AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR The Breeders’ Cup, conducted over two days, and since 2008 has been shared between California racecourses (Del Mar & Santa Anita) and Kentucky racecourses (Keeneland & Churchill Downs). (Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images) Experience racing around the world One of the great joys of being a racing enthusiast is the opportunity to witness the sport’s finest moments in different settings. For VRC members, these partnerships open doors to explore the world through racing. Whether it’s standing along the historic rails at Royal Ascot, experiencing the electric atmosphere of the Breeders’ Cup, or soaking in the vibrant culture of Hong Kong racing, these collaborations offer members a chance to engage with the sport on a global stage. Many of these partnerships include reciprocal privileges, giving VRC members special access to international events, race days, and hospitality experiences. TAB Australian Cup Day: A tribute to global racing excellence The VRC’s commitment to celebrating these partnerships will be showcased on TAB Australian Cup Day on March 29, 2025. On this day, the VRC acknowledges its international allies by naming five races in acknowledgement of our global connections: York VOBIS Gold Plate, Royal Ascot VOBIS Gold Reef, HKJC World Pool Sprint Classic, Glorious Goodwood Handicap, and the Curragh Handicap. The VRC is also delighted to host representatives from Ed Arkell (Goodwood), Nick Smith (Ascot), and William Derby (York). By fostering these relationships, the VRC strengthens its position as a leader in international racing, ensuring that Australian racing remains firmly on the world stage.
