The Australian Racing Hall of Fame is an institution that recognizes and celebrates the achievements of notable racehorses, jockeys, trainers, and other influential figures in the Australian horse racing industry.

Key aspects of the Australian Racing Hall of Fame include:

Inductees: The Hall of Fame includes inductees from various categories, such as horses, jockeys, trainers, and associates (which may include breeders, owners, administrators, etc.)

Criteria: Induction into the Hall of Fame is based on a nominee’s outstanding achievements, impact on the sport, and legacy within the Australian racing community.

Selection Process: Candidates are nominated and selected by a panel of experts, which may include racing historians, journalists, and industry professionals. The selection process considers factors such as racing performance, records, championships won, and overall influence on the sport.

Recognition: Inductees are honored with a formal induction ceremony, often held annually, where their achievements and contributions are celebrated. Their names and accomplishments are permanently enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

Education and Preservation: The Hall of Fame serves as an educational resource, preserving the history and heritage of Australian horse racing. It helps to promote and commemorate the achievements of legendary figures and the cultural significance of the sport.

The Australian Racing Hall of Fame plays a vital role in showcasing the rich history and tradition of horse racing in Australia and serves as a tribute to the extraordinary individuals and horses who have left an indelible mark on the sport.

Captain Envious added the Group 3 Easter Cup (2000m) at Caulfield on 6th April 2024 to his victory in the Listed Ballarat Cup (2000m) at the end of last spring. 

Bursting through a narrow gap, Captain Envious ($26) with Thomas Stockdale aboard, defeated Jennilala ($7.50) by a half-neck with Deny Knowledge ($16) a short-half-head away third.

Captain Envious was racing third-up from a break on Saturday having finished out of the placings in tougher races in his first two runs back.

Stockdale said Captain Envious showed a lot of courage to get through late in the contest and register a narrow win.

“It was tight, and I had both horses coming in on me, so full credit to him to get through that hole and win the race,” Stockdale said.

“He took a long time to pull up, so I think he’s going to be suited getting out over further.

“I think he can go on with it now and he enjoyed the fast tempo that was on today, being able to camp off it and being produced late.

“He was gutsy, he was tough, and he had a bit of a blow, so he will come on.

“I think there are bigger things in store for him and it’s great to get a Stakes winner for the Preusker team who have been great supporters of mine over the last 12 or so months.”

Well done to all the team!
