He was only the sixth VRC Secretary since the Club’s formation in 1864. He came from a family steeped in racing for generations. His great-grandfather William Samuel Cox founded Moonee Valley Racecourse in 1882. Murray’s father, W. S. (Bill) Cox had been secretary at Moonee Valley from 1935. Murray followed his father at Moonee Valley in 1966 before moving to the VRC. During his time in office the VRC constructed the 1979 Hill Grandstand and began computerising racing information.
