Bart Cummings Passes Away

One of the greatest horse trainers the world has produced has passed away in his sleep. The Melbourne Cup won't be the same without him.


Vale the great man Bart.

'The Great Man' ... RIP
Saw Let's Elope beat Shiva's Revenge @ the 1991 Melbourne Cup from the 'lawn' @ Flemington.
He deserves a memorial like a Bronze Statue @ Flemington don't you think?

When Anthony Cummings once won a big race, he said: "Dad taught me everything I know, unfortunately he didn't teach me everything he knows."

RIP Bart.

My dear Great Aunt, Aunty Yvonne, once told me that "When in doubt, go with Bart. If he's got no runners, Jim Cassidy is your next best bet"

Hasn't failed me that often.
PAFC. Forever.

LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
