16 Moloney Room: Jerry Moloney (1883-1963) was a leading trainer, based in Warrnambool, for several decades - winning two Grand Annuals, two Warrnambool Cups and three Brierlys. Jerry’s son Jim (19242015), an Australian Racing Hall of Fame member, started his 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), a WRC Hall of Fame member, 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 launch 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. Mark McNamara: April 2025 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.
