Raised on thoroughbred studs, Lester’s passion for horses and racing was nurtured early. Renowned for his expertise in racehorse form, Lester’s dedication made him a respected figure in Australian racing. His discovery of the Flemington Cup, first run in 1849 and home to Victoria’s oldest surviving racing trophy, inspired a renewed celebration of its rich history. Embraced by the Victoria Racing Club, the race’s renaming ensures Lester’s legacy remains a lasting part of Australian racing.
