He won the Caulfield Cup in 1954 and 1955 and the Melbourne Cup in 1954 before being beaten into second place, carrying 63.5 kg, by Toparoa in 1955. And Toparoa carried 15.4 kg less on his back. Today’s race previously honoured Chatham, champion miler and middle-distance horse of the 1930s, son of the 1925 Melbourne Cup winner Windbag. Chatham won two Epsoms and a Doncaster at Randwick, a Cox Plate, and at Flemington he twice won the Linlithgow Stakes.
