Turf Legends, an exhibition honouring the inductees to the Australian Racing Hall Of Fame, opened this week at the South Australian Museum in Adelaide. The display coincides with both the Adelaide Cup Carnival & Australian Racing Hall Of Fame Dinner (which Adelaide hosts for the first time on Thursday May 15).

The exhibition celebrates the inductees’ “amazing triumphs & ground-breaking records”; many rare & personal items from the greats of racing are on display: for example, original ‘tools of the trade’ such as race-caller Bill Collins’ tape recorder & microphone, trainer Jack Holt’s pocket watch presented to him after Eurythmic’s great win in the 1921 Sydney Cup, & the bridle worn by the immortal Phar Lap in his amazing final win in the 1932 Aqua Caliente Handicap in North America.
