4to. 212 pp, b/w photographs, flatsigned by Rhett Kirkwood on the introduction page. There is a touch of irony in the fact that Moonee Valley Racing Club's W.S. Cox Plate, billed as Australia's weight-for-age championship, honors a man whose biggest race success was in a Handicap. Farmer cum racing entrepreneur, William Samuel Cox, won the 1875 Sydney Cup with Imperial, but it is because of his acumen as a racing administrator - and his role in developing the proprietary Moonee Valley racetrack on a former farm - the the race carries his name..
