8 Twenty years ago, a simple idea changed what retirement looked like for Australia’s greatest racehorses. Living Legends has been giving our stars of the turf somewhere to see out their days ever since, long after the roar of the crowd has faded. In 2006, the ownership group of Fields Of Omagh began considering his retirement. As one of the most beloved racehorses of his era and a two-time Cox Plate winner, he would have typically led a comfortable life after racing – perhaps rehomed as a pleasure horse, serving as a paddock companion, or retrained for a new discipline. However, his owners believed there was a better way for him to remain part of the sport he had excelled in, so he could continue bringing joy to the fans who adored him. From that initial discussion, Living Legends was created: a sanctuary where champion racehorses could live out their retirements while remaining accessible to the people who had supported them. Dr Andrew Clarke, CEO and Veterinary Director, was involved from the beginning, using his expertise to help establish the organisation’s foundation. Word quickly spread throughout the racing community, and Fields Of Omagh was soon joined by other champions, including Might And Power, Better Loosen Up, and Doriemus. Their home was anything but ordinary. Woodlands Historic Homestead, set on 150 acres of one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most storied thoroughbred landscapes, became what Clarke describes as a Racing Field of Dreams. By Celia Purdey Living Legends YEARS OF TWO DECADES OF CHAMPIONS, COMMUNITY AND CARE 20
9 20 YEARS OF LEGENDS THE EARLY YEARS Keeping the gates open required a collective effort from the racing community. Support came from various sectors of the industry, including a specialist horse feed manufacturer, the equine supplement maker Interpath, and racing clubs such as the Victoria Racing Club (VRC), Moonee Valley Racing Club (MVRC), and the Melbourne Racing Club (MRC). Additionally, a growing network of studs and corporate sponsors provided essential backing. When equine influenza struck shortly after the opening, causing income to vanish almost overnight, Sportsbet stepped in as a vital lifeline and has remained a generous supporter ever since. THE ROLL CALL Now, for twenty years, the paddocks at Living Legends have welcomed remarkable residents. Melbourne Cup winners such as Brew, Efficient, Almandin, and Twilight Payment have all made this place their home, along with Prince Of Penzance, who is a regular visitor. In 2007, Silent Witness arrived from Hong Kong, expanding Living Legends’ international connections. Other notable residents include Apache Cat, Santa Ana Lane, English Derby winner Serpentine, Caulfield Cup winner Fawkner, Australia’s winningest thoroughbred Fab’s Cowboy, along with Hong Kong Jockey Club legends including Beauty Generation, Bullish Luck and Good Ba Ba. Beloved champions Buffering, Subzero, Makybe Diva, and Northerly were visitors along with Who Shot The Barman, who became the first Living Legend to compete in equestrian sport as a showjumper, demonstrating that life after racing can still bring new adventures. For those whose stories have come to an end, there is a memorial garden on the property, offering a peaceful resting place for the legends who have passed away.

10 20 YEARS OF LEGENDS A PARTNERSHIP BUILT TO LAST Since its inception, the VRC has partnered with Living Legends, a collaboration that continues to thrive. Outside of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, two Living Legends horses make appearances in the Mounting Yard at nearly every Flemington meeting. This allows racegoers to get up close and personal with former champions, providing a unique experience unlike any other on race day. “The VRC has been by our side since our earliest days,” Clarke says. “Their unwavering support has been a significant factor in making Living Legends what it is today.” The VRC’s Equine Wellbeing Fund, established in 2019, offers ongoing financial assistance, embodying the belief that the love of horses should extend well beyond their racing days. A COMMUNITY, NOT JUST A SANCTUARY Living Legends is not just a home for some of the greatest racehorses of all time; it is also a community that begins at the gate. Every day (they are open 364 days a year, only closing for Christmas), people come to Woodlands to get up close with the horses they once watched from the grandstand or cheered on from their couches. They are people who simply want to pay their respects to these gentle giants, who once seemed untouchable on the racetrack and are now happy to accept a pat and a carrot. For most visitors, it is an unforgettable experience. Incredible volunteers maintain the homestead and gardens, with support from dedicated long-term staff. Adele Ioannou first entered the gates at fourteen as part of the Learning with Legends program and is now the Operations Manager. Veterinary nurse Molly Stewart began as a placement student and today cares A true Living Legends favourite, champion sprinter Apache Cat has long captivated Flemington crowds, on the track through his memorable Group 1 victories, and off it with his striking looks and unmistakable personality. He returns to Flemington on Saturday, accompanied by fan favourite, Tom Melbourne.
11 20 YEARS OF LEGENDS Hong Kong legends Silent Witness (L) and Bullish Luck (R). (Image credit: Lisa Grund Photography/Living Legends) for the very horses that first inspired her. Then there’s Annie, whose homestead scones have become something of an institution. Beyond the property, the horses travel through the Legends on the Road program, visiting schools, senior facilities, and community events across Victoria. This initiative brings the magic of these champions to people who might never have the chance to meet them. Programs like Legends Under Saddle and Learning with Legends extend that outreach even further. Each year, more than 150 veterinary nursing and medicine students gain hands-on experience at Living Legends, learning about equine welfare and geriatric care. As the horses age, the focus shifts, and providing enrichment, dignity, and specialised support for older horses is central to everything Living Legends does. As Clarke puts it, “Living Legends combines horse welfare, heritage conservation, community work, and learning opportunities for all ages.” THE FUTURE Looking ahead, Living Legends is expanding its curriculum-based school programs, strengthening university partnerships, and growing its community programs to reach new audiences. Clarke is clear about why it all matters. “The racing industry’s social licence depends heavily on providing active, positive lives for horses once their racing careers are over.” And of course, they will continue to open the gates, granting access to those wonderful equine stars who continue to bring people such joy. Twenty years on, Living Legends is not just a place. It is a promise kept. Living Legends is a not-for-profit organisation. Visit livinglegends.org.au
12 Established by the Victoria Racing Club in 2009, the Winter Race Series brings together races like the Listed VRC-CRV Winter Championship Final (1600m), which had been run since 1979, and a number of other finals for horses young and established, both sprinters and stayers. To qualify for Flemington Finals Race Day on Saturday 4 July, which offers over $1.5 million in prizemoney, horses must earn their way into the finals by competing in heats right across Victoria. Horses that finish First and Second in nominated heats will be exempt from the ballot in the respective final. Who will be the next star to emerge? WINTER RACE SERIES
13 CRESWICK SPRINT SERIES Designed for three-year-old sprinters, the Creswick Sprint Series features heats over 1000m to 1200m at Flemington, Caulfield and Mornington. The series honours Sir Alexander (Alec) Reid Creswick (1912–83), a long-serving VRC Committee member (1959–83) and Chairman from 1969 to 1977. His family’s association with the Club dates back to 1864, when his great-great-grandfather Henry Creswick was a foundation committee member. Sir Alec was a passionate horseman. Master of the Melbourne Hunt Club, a leading polo player, and head of the Equestrian Federation of Australia, who strongly supported Australia’s Olympic equestrian efforts. He also bred and raced topclass horses, including champion filly True Course. The series culminates in the $175,000 Listed A.R. Creswick Stakes (1200m) on Flemington Finals Race Day. SANTA ANA LANE SPRINT SERIES Named in honour of five-time Group 1- winning sprinter, Santa Ana Lane, this open-age sprint series celebrates one of Australia’s most accomplished modern sprinters. Trained by Anthony Freedman, Santa Ana Lane earned more than $8 million in prizemoney, with elite victories across four states, including the VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) at Flemington. Santa Ana Lane now enjoys retirement at Living Legends in Oaklands Junction. The series attracts high-quality winter sprinters, with heats conducted up Flemington’s famous straight as well as at Caulfield, Sandown, Warrnambool and Swan Hill. It concludes with the $175,000 Listed Santa Ana Lane Sprint Series Final. TAJ ROSSI SERIES Aimed at later-developing two-year-olds suited to the mile, the Taj Rossi Series is named after the outstanding Bart Cummings-trained colt. Purchased for $18,000 at the 1972 Adelaide Yearling Sales, Taj Rossi quickly rose to prominence, producing a remarkable three-year-old campaign. After showing promies with early wins in Adelaide and Melbourne, he went on a stunning run, winning six of seven starts, including the Ascot Vale Stakes, Moonee Valley Stakes, Cox Plate, Victoria Derby, George Adams Handicap and Sandown Guineas. His performances earned him the 1973–74 Australian Racehorse of the Year title. Later retired to stud, Taj Rossi sired VRC Oaks winner Taj Eclipse. The series final is run over 1600 metres on Flemington Finals Race Day. WINTER RACE SERIES
14 VRC-CRV WINTER CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES This open-class mile series features heats at Sandown, Swan Hill, Caulfield and Flemington, bringing together in-form gallopers across distances of 1400m to 1600m. The series culminates in the $200,000 Listed VRC–CRV Winter Championship Series Final on Flemington Finals Race Day. BANJO PATERSON SERIES This series is for open stayers and is named in honour of revered author and poet Andrew Barton ‘Banjo’ Paterson, who had a lifelong love affair with horses. Polo matches, picnic races and riding his own pony were all part of his early life in country NSW. After moving to Sydney and qualifying as a solicitor, he began submitting poetry to The Bulletin under the pseudonym “The Banjo”, the name of a racehorse his father had owned. His various careers included jockey, horse trainer in the Middle East during WWI and racing journal editor, but it’s his wonderful bush ballads and poems – such as The Man From Snowy River – that truly reflect his equine passion. In 1886, he published A Dream of the Melbourne Cup; the first of many racing ballads, including Old Pardon, the Son of Reprieve, The Open Steeplechase, Rio Grande’s Last Race and The Wargilah Handicap. NEXT GENERATION SPRINTER SERIES Introduced to highlight emerging two-year-old talent, this series provides valuable experience on Flemington’s unique straight course. Heats are held at Flemington, Caulfield, Sandown and Swan Hill, with the $150,000 final to be run down the Flemington Straight Six, helping develop the next wave of elite Australian sprinters. LEILANI SERIES This fillies and mares series honours Leilani, one of Bart Cummings’ most admired champions. Winner of the 1974 AJC Oaks, she enjoyed a dominant fouryear-old season, claiming the Turnbull Stakes, Toorak Handicap, Caulfield Cup and Mackinnon Stakes before finishing second to stablemate Think Big in the Melbourne Cup. She continued her success the following autumn, winning the Orr Stakes, St George Stakes and Australian Cup. Leilani won 14 of her 28 starts and was so highly regarded by Cummings that he named his Sydney stable, Leilani Lodge, in her honour. *The Leilani Series was combined with the former Rivette Series in 2023. SILVER BOWL SERIES Targeting three-year-old milers, the Silver Bowl Series includes heats over 1400m to 1600m at Flemington, Caulfield and Sandown. The series concludes with a $150,000 quality handicap over 1600m on Flemington Finals Race Day. WINTER RACE SERIES
15 THE MAHOGANY CHALLENGE Established in 2019, the Mahogany Challenge showcases emerging threeyear-old stayers. Heats are held at Flemington, Caulfield and Sandown, leading into the final on Flemington Finals Race Day. The series is named after Mahogany, one of Australia’s most versatile racehorses. Trained by Lee Freedman and raced by Lloyd Williams and Kerry Packer, Mahogany won eight Group 1 races, including both the Victoria Derby and Australian Derby, and was crowned Australian Racehorse of the Year in 1993–94. His Flemington successes included two Lightning Stakes victories. WINTER RACE SERIES Visit vrc.com.au/racing/vrc-winter-series-heats-and-finals/ for all the details.
