17 training career here. Jim won three Warrnambool Cups, including with Warri Symbol and Sarfraz – both ridden by Pat Hyland who shared a close personal and professional relationship with Moloney after serving his apprenticeship with him. Tozer Road/Tozer Road double: Francis Tozer (1820-1905) was the most influential person in the early years of racing in Warrnambool. He was one of the founding trustees of the new racing and recreation reserve, a steward at the first Winter Steeplechase Meeting, assisted in laying out the new steeplechase course, was instrumental in the formation of the WRC and a member of its first committee, a prominent owner and breeder, and helped launched the riding career of Tommy Corrigan. Villiers Flat: Villiers, a son of the legendary Panic, won the first Warrnambool Cup, in 1873. The field for the two-mile handicap included two other notable progeny of Panic; Nimblefoot, winner of the 1870 Melbourne Cup and Pandora, the dam of Redleap, the greatest Australian jumper of the nineteenth century, and perhaps of all time. Woodford Lounge: The Woodford Racing Club was formed in 1900. It raced at Woodford until 1941 and commenced racing at Warrnambool in 1945 following a break due to World War II. The club continues to hold a very successful annual meeting on New Year’s Eve. 34th Jump Bar: As golf has its 19th hole, this racecourse has the 34th Jump Bar – drawing on the fact that there are 33 fences in our iconic Grand Annual Steeplechase, believed to be the most of any steeplechase in the world. Mark McNamara: March 2022 A true hidden treasure! Located above the Galleywood Bar, and behind the Old Member's Grandstand is The 34th Jump Bar, a comfortable spot for a drink.
