Book Synopsis Melbourne Cup 1930 by : Geoff Armstrong
Download or read book Melbourne Cup 1930 written by Geoff Armstrong and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 19?? with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phar Lap's assault on the Melbourne Cup generated unprecedented excitement across the country. At the same time, it filled many bookmakers with dread a victory for the favourite would cost them plenty. He'd have to be stopped, whatever the cost. For the newspapers, the twin stories of sporting greatness and seedy corruption were a sensational cocktail. Readers lapped it up, while for the poor punters, suffering during the Great Depression, a Phar Lap triumph was their best hope of turning one quid into two. Melbourne Cup 1930 is the story of four days in November that became at the same time the most famous and infamous in Cup history. It began with a gunman, like something out of a Chicago gangster movie, apparently trying to kill Phar Lap on a quiet suburban street. With his life in danger and those closest to him terrified, the champion was spirited away to a secret location, while one of the city's most celebrated detectives searched for the culprits. Meanwhile, the other horses, owners, trainers and jockeys were preparing for the biggest race of their lives. Their many diverse stories and the memories they invoke of Cups gone by are an integral part of this unique tale. An hour before the jump, Phar Lap's whereabouts remained a mystery. Finally, he arrived at Flemington, to go almost immediately to the start as a huge crowd cheered him on. The police had been told to put men down the back of the track, in case the gunman tried one last time, but they now believed that the original assassination attempt might not have been all that it seemed. Nothing it appears could stop Phar Lap now
Book Synopsis The Story of the Melbourne Cup by : Stephen Howell
Download or read book The Story of the Melbourne Cup written by Stephen Howell and published by . This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of the Melbourne Cup, Australia's Greatest Race celebrates the remarkable history of a wonderful horse race -- one of the world's most famous and enduring tests of a thoroughbred. This is a story of the risk takers and planners who have made a race into a cultural phenomenon; toffs and battlers; the genius trainers Cummings, de Mestre and Freedman; the marvellous riding skills of Lewis, White and Boss; the obsessives, the families, and the flukes; the dominance of the Kiwis and the sudden surge of northern invaders; and how the Melbourne Cup has evolved through boom times, wars and depression. The concept of a handicap race as a nation's greatest event is unique to Australia and the Melbourne Cup. It represents so much about its host nation -- a chance for all no matter the circumstances of birth or opportunity. This is as much a story about that growing nation as it is about its most famous event.

Download or read book Life As I Know It written by Michelle Payne and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michelle Payne rode into history as the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup. She and her 100-to-1 local horse Prince of Penzance took the international racing world by surprise but hers was no overnight success story. Michelle was first put on a horse aged four. At five years old her dream was to ride in the Melbourne Cup and win it. By seven she was doing track work. All of the ten Payne children learned to ride racehorses but Michelle has stayed the distance. She has ridden the miles, done the dawn training, fallen badly and each time got back on the horse. So when she declared that anyone who said women couldn’t compete in the industry could ‘get stuffed’, the nation stood up and cheered. Michelle has the audacity to believe she can succeed against all the odds. Her story is about hope triumphing over adversity, and how resilience and character made a winner.

Download or read book The Cup written by Eric O'Keefe and published by Slattery Media Group. This book was released on 2011 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Melbourne Cup is a race built on endeavour, endurance and emotion, but few Cups have been influenced by the events that surrounded Media Puzzle's win in 2002 with jockey Damien Oliver on his back. THE CUP is a combination of wonderful stories - the tragedy that has hit generations of Oliver's family; the love of an Irishman for a race on the other side of the world; and the burning but fruitless quest of an oil rich sheikh to win Australia's greatest race. All overwhelmed by the genius of a jockey and his capacity to win for his brother. THE CUP is now a major motion picture directed by Simon Wincer, and featuring popular Australian actor/comedian Stephen Curry as Damien Oliver. The movie is due for release on October 13 2011.
