Melbourne Cup 1963. [05:42]
With Melbourne Cup time 2011 now upon us, I have just rediscovered an old dub to analogue video tape of a very old film I made in 1963, when then visiting Melbourne and, luckily, also carrying with me an excellent Paillard Bolex B8 spring driven movie camera. On arrival at the racetrack, I most fortuitously met up with a TV cameraman I knew very well and was invited to join his crew on the rooftop of the main grandstand at Flemington and, hurrah!, I was then able to record my own 8mm film of Gatum Gatum winning that prestigeous 1963 Melbourne Cup!! Transferred to analogue video way back, that old 8mm film DID capture the essence and some of the amazing atmosphere of that great horse race which was already "stopping a nation" on Melbourne Cup day - all of 48 years ago!! Back in Sydney again, I added a few supporting film clips and then recorded a rather scratchy sound track to a narrow magnetic edge stripe which I glued to the film and I tried to give it more immediate atmosphere by merging my own commentary with a recording of the ABC radio broadcast of the race which I had captured at the time on a tiny battery-driven tape recorder. Although very primitive by today's standards using modern hi-tech gear, I do hope that you really enjoy this authentic example of early amateur film making - warts and all - of a very historic horse race! Gatum Gatum was brilliant!!!

JC's Pride sets new five-furlong main track record [01:30]
JC's Pride established a track record for five furlongs on the main track in Wednesday's third race, lowering the previous mark by 0.17 seconds with a final time of 56.54 seconds. Ridden by Jose Lezcano, JC's Pride showed speed throughout to win the 2-year-old maiden event by 3 ¼ lengths. "[Lezcano] said if he bore down on him at the eighth pole, he would have went in :55," said Bobby Barbara, who trains the son of Henny Hughes for Joseph Bucci. "I'm glad he didn't. He's a really nice colt. He's a sweetheart; he's like an old horse. He does everything so right. He handles himself with a lot of class." It was the second start for JC's Pride, who was second by 2 ½ lengths to eventual Sanford winner Overdriven on July 1 at Belmont Park.
