Long before expensive advertising, the Melbourne Cup was the biggest party in town. Melbourne’s population was 125,000 in 1861, and 4000 people flocked to Flemington Racecourse, on mud flats by the Maribyrnong River, for the first Cup. One in 31 Melburnians were there, without Instagram to lure them. Back then, drapers and dressmakers ran out of the fashionable colour of the day, and gossiping journalists reported who wore silk and who sported lesser flourishes. Not much has changed. This edition captures the thrill of the spring racing carnival – still our biggest party. ●

““I am Sam Hyland ” … and I know my way around a racecourse I had my first ride at 16 at Bendigo on Caulfield

Cup day. My first ride ran third and my second won, a horse called Retrieve. That was really exciting. My dad, Pat Hyland, was a successful jockey. He spent a lifetime in racing riding from the age of 14 to 44, and is part of an elite group of jockeys to win a Grand Slam: the Golden Slipper, Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and the Melbourne Cup. He retired when I was 15 and bought a property at Clyde. I quickly learned to ride a horse and decided I wanted to be a jockey. I served my apprenticeship with dad and was a middle of the rung jockey – I worked hard and consistently rode winners. But I had a fall when I was 32, fracturing a C1 in my neck and a C7 in my back; I also broke a collarbone and whacked my head. That ended my career. I had a year off, then once I was back on my feet got a gig on racing channel TVN. I worked there for three years hosting country meetings during the week and on Saturday I’d be in the mounting yard giving tips. I then started working for Racing.com doing horseback interviews. I was really lucky in that I had friendships among the jockeys, having done the job with them. For six years I was also Racing Victoria’s trackwalker. It involved a lot of travelling and early mornings, driving all over Victoria, but that came easily to me. We race 363 days a year in Victoria. Trackwalkers drive to the racetrack the night before or morning of a meeting, walk the track and rate it for the day’s races – a good three or four, a soft five or six, for instance. These tracks are raced a lot and show signs of stress, so I’d give an indication of where I thought the best part of the track was on the day. It’s not an exact science. Recently, I also did horseback interviews for Racing Queensland meetings throughout the winter carnival and the Northern Cup series, which was really different. It’s a relaxed atmosphere in Queensland and a really good day at the races. The spring racing carnival is underway and it’s a fantastic time of the year in Melbourne. I’m part of 1116 SEN’s radio coverage for 16 meetings, which is keeping me busy. I’m just a roustabout in horse racing and dabble in whatever’s going. I’m from a racing family, it’s always been my life and I hope it continues to be. ●

hen the premiership scores are tallied at the end of each racing season, themes are revealed. Racing in Australia’s two biggest cities has been a land of giants for a handful of years now. The only significant new theme when the scores came in at the end of July was that trainers Chris Waller and Darren Weir have become not just bigger and stronger, but bigger and stronger than anyone before them. Amid the deserved celebration of the backstories of both trainers – country hamlet kids who went from zero to hero – their steamrolling success has exposed sores that already existed. Victoria has more than 800 registered horse trainers and two dominators, Weir and Team Hayes. Many trainers, frustrated by slow horses and slow payers, struggled before Weir swaggered onto the landscape. His horses run and win everywhere, from Flemington to Swan Hill. In a bid to keep pace, Team Hayes’ horses go where Weir’s go. Waller, thankfully for those out bush in NSW, is more city-centric, where the effect has been dramatic. Previous giants, like Gai Waterhouse, have been cut in half by Waller, whose dominance on the form guide reads as though a finger got stuck on the “search-and-replace” key. In some cases, Waller’s horses comprise almost entire race-fields in Sydney, particularly staying races. Punters scratch their heads – “Which one?’’ – and stewards hawk tactics. They’re assisted by Waller, who presents them each Saturday with the “grid’’, his take on how his horses might position themselves in the race, making something potentially murky look a little more clear. Both Weir and Waller are in their mid-40s, so are at the peak of their dominance: soft-spoken, tearprone Waller at times self-conscious about crushing his rivals, once saying he felt relieved when the stable had a lean patch; and steel-jawed, unsentimental Weir, far more blinkered, insisting struggling rivals have had the same opportunity, more in most cases, to make good.

In the LAND OF THE GIANTS INSIDE THE STABLES Two trainers will assert their unrivalled dominance this spring carnival. restricted beach use a few years back was the increasing swarm of Weir horses working in the dunes and shallows. Weir merely shrugged, reduced his numbers a little and imported truckloads of sand to his Maldon farm; his own inland beach. One of the great quirks of racing is that the rich and powerful don’t win all of the time. Waller had every runner bar one in a 12-horse field (two were later scratched) at Randwick in early August. In that one race, bookies offered $1.04 about a Waller victory, only for $8 chance Red Alto, trained by Brent Stanley near Bendigo, to withstand the tsunami. On the same weekend in Melbourne,

where they raced at Moonee Valley on the Saturday and Sandown on the Sunday, Weir won just one race; a minor hurdle at Sandown. This spring, the Weir and Waller teams will descend upon Caulfield, Moonee Valley and Flemington, but the world will also arrive – armies from England, Ireland, central Europe and Japan. Weir and Waller, always ahead of the game, have imported foreign battalions of their own. History says that, come carnival time, the superpowers come back to the pack. The higher the stakes, the greater the competition. Spring has always been a pretty good time for giant-slayers. ●

“This spring, the Weir and Waller teams will descend upon Caulfield, Moonee Valley and Flemington, but the world will also arrive ...”

PAT SCALA

The outside-world perception of Waller is that he trains a horse called Winx. But Winx is his shop window. Waller trains an army of more than 200 others from four stables – a core squad at Sydney’s Rosehill, plus barns at Warwick Farm, on the Gold Coast and in Melbourne. Just as Weir wandered into Stawell as a hardworking 25-year-old horse-breaker in the mid1990s, New Zealand-raised Waller gambled his way across the Tasman in 2000 with six horses, a maxed-out credit card, a girlfriend – Stephanie, now his wife and mother of their two children – and a trajectory that has seen him win the last eight Sydney training premierships. Weir, born on a wheat farm at Berriwillock, a Mallee blip on the radar of two big wheat silos and a handful of facades of long-deserted local businesses, has won five straight Melbourne premierships. The numbers reveal that Waller and Weir are bigger than those who dominated before them. The effect has been felt by trainers who are hopelessly out-gunned and under-resourced. Others work out ways to combat them. Training partnerships – with two heads being better than one – have become increasingly popular. Waller trained 189 Sydney winners last season. His horses earned $22 million. He trained 152 the previous season; 169 the one before that. Waterhouse won seven Sydney premierships but only topped the “ton’’ four times. Weir trained 153 Melbourne winners in 2017-18. It’s been a steady progression, increasing season by season from 86 wins to take his first title in 201314. David Hayes and Lee Freedman won scores of premierships but each only once trained 100 winners-plus. Weir’s 250-plus horses in training are scattered around Victoria. Most are at Ballarat, more than 60 at Warrnambool, a growing number at Weir’s new farm near Maldon and dozens of “pre-trainers’’ with other trainers, who have worked out that the best way to combat Weir is to be paid by him. There have been growing pains. Rival Warrnambool trainers believed the catalyst for

COVER STORY

A single phone call altered life’s course for racing’s Cumani family. Wo r d s

DA N N Y P OW E R

t was late in 2004 when the phone rang in Luca Cumani’s office at his historic Bedford House stables in Newmarket, England. On answering, he tuned in to the raw Australian accent of Paul Makin, a sometimes rambunctious but wealthy professional punter who owned one of Australia’s champion horses of the time, Starcraft. Cumani, a leading horse trainer like his father before him, accepted Makin’s offer to train Starcraft for a campaign in Europe in 2005. Little did the Italian realise at the time that it was a decision that would change his life forever, and turn his family’s world upside down. In five starts for Cumani, Starcraft won two of Europe’s most important “mile” races, the Prix du Moulin at Longchamp in France and the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Newmarket. After that great run with Starcraft, Makin encouraged Cumani to buy an English stayer, Glistening, to target the 2006 Melbourne Cup.

That adventure to Melbourne with Glistening, who finished 10th behind Japanese stayer Delta Blues, gave the Cumani family more than a just a taste of Australia at Cup time; it started an obsession with the country that would eventually “adopt” a Cumani daughter and son. Cumani was joined on that trip by his horse-mad, 23-year-old daughter Francesca, who was Glistening’s track rider. Australia endeared itself to the suave Italian-Englishman, whose obsession since has been to win the Melbourne Cup – so far without success. However, while Luca was focused on the Cup, Australia became obsessed with Francesca, who within two years had joined Channel Seven as an expert commentator during its Melbourne spring racing carnival coverage. Ten years on and Francesca not only remains a permanent fixture of Australian racing coverage, but she lives in Scone and Sydney in NSW with her husband, champion polo player Rob Archibald, and their 30-month-old son Harry. Her elder brother, Matt, 37, who gave up a life as a financier and political adviser in London to pursue the family tradition in racing, has settled into life as a trainer at Ballarat with his Australian wife, Sarah Bell.

Matt said it took a while for his parents to come to terms with having their two children living in Australia. But he realised the Cumani brand was so strong in Australia, particularly in Victoria, that this was the right place to start his own business. “I suppose we’ve become a bit of a name in Australia and when you’re weighing up whether to come here or go to America – where it wouldn’t be as strong a brand – you’ve got to do everything to give you an advantage in terms of attracting owners and buyers,” he says. Cumani started with only 11 boxes at his stables at Ballarat, but now he has room for 40 and all the boxes are full. Incredibly, while Francesca became the easily recognisable face of the Melbourne spring racing carnival, she was a relative unknown in her home country. It wasn’t until 2016 that she was offered a position as part of the English ITV racing commentary team. Her CV includes hosting a racing show on CNN in the US, and following the world racing circuit means she and Harry can spend time at “home” in Newmarket with a couple of doting grandparents. Recently, The Sun newspaper in England ran a feature on her headlined, “Who is Francesca Cumani?” The Poms are a bit late to the party. She’s ours. ●

t wouldn’t be a Melbourne spring racing carnival, or maybe a racing carnival anywhere, without the effervescent figure of Gai Waterhouse. The Sydney-based trainer has been coming to Melbourne at this time of the year ever since she was a girl with her father, the legendary trainer Tommy Smith. The family would park for three weeks in an executive suite at the iconic Southern Cross Hotel in Exhibition Street. Although the Southern Cross is long gone, Waterhouse has become one of the world’s most successful thoroughbred horse trainers and one of the most recognisable faces in world racing. Melbourne has had a love affair with Waterhouse since she burst on the racing scene in her own right in 1993, when her horse, the 160-1 longshot Te Akau Nick, finished second in the Melbourne Cup behind the ground-breaking Irish gelding, Vintage Crop. For the next 30 years, Waterhouse rewrote racing’s record books and, along the way, endeared herself to an information-hungry media. She became the face of Australian racing for many with her infectious enthusiasm for the sport that she loves. However, the glory of winning the Cup eluded her until she imported an Irish horse with an Italian name, Fiorente. Fiorente finished second behind Green Moon in 2012 but the following year, with Damien Oliver in the saddle, stormed home to provide Waterhouse with a glorious win and another title – that of the first Australian woman to train the winner of our greatest race. Since then, Waterhouse has changed tack.

In recent years, with the help of a youthful cotrainer, Adrian Bott, she slowed her pace enough to not only pat the horses, but also enjoy more family life, doting especially on her grandchildren. She also spends more time in Melbourne, where she and bookmaker husband Robbie Waterhouse bought a lavish Spring Street apartment in 2014. The apartment is now not only a base for the Waterhouses during the Melbourne spring racing carnival – her quest for a second Melbourne Cup still burns strong – but also for whenever they feel like getting away from heady Sydney. The pair enjoy particularly going to the theatre – Waterhouse, as Gai Smith, was a budding actress in her youth – and to pay further homage to their favourite restaurants. They love Melbourne’s cultural scene and exploring its bustling laneways for the next Melbourne morsel to savour. Arm in arm, the Waterhouses are a familiar sight in Melbourne’s streets at any time of the year.

Wo r d s

They love to walk, and it’s not uncommon to them to trek across the Botanic Gardens to South Yarra to enjoy one of their favourite places, such as seafood restaurant Bacash, and for a coffee, Lawson Grove Shop. “Melbourne has a multitude of things to see and do. On many occasions I have enjoyed the walk between Spring Street, through the gardens to South Yarra and Chapel Street, and back along the Yarra to the Crown casino precinct. It is all very close,” Waterhouse says. The go-to post-races place is down Little Collins Street. ‘‘Regardless of the outcome of the races, after Rob and I will go out for dinner to chew the cud at the Italian restaurant Il Bacaro with our very close friends Lea and Bruce Stracey,” Waterhouse says. “If it was a winning day, we’ll toast our success, but if it wasn’t we’ll still have a few laughs.” Waterhouse and Bott have two horses aiming for this year’s Lexus Melbourne Cup; Hush Writer and Thinkin’ Big. ●

Farrier May-Keas crafts shoes for a patient thoroughbred.

If the shoe fits ... THE FARRIER Meet the young woman honouring a specialist racing tradition.

atasha May-Keas was a teenager when she mastered the old art of the farrier. The now 29-year-old loved horses and wanted to learn a trade, so she combined the two, fitting horseshoes and managing hoof health. “I worked on a polo farm with a lot of ex-race horses and wanted to learn how to trim my horse, so I did a week of work experience at Cranbourne,” she recalls. “I thought it was the worst job ever, it was so hard. But at the end of the week the boss said, ‘You couldn’t decide what you wanted to do so I’ve decided for you. You start your apprenticeship on Monday’. And it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done.

“It’s a mix of old-school blacksmithing and newage farrier skills. I love the horses, the travel, the races and the knowledge I’ve gained from the people I’ve met.” Once May-Keas finished her apprenticeship she started her own business. Now based in Queensland, she has worked all over Australia. “When a new horse comes into the stable I get the trainer to walk it up and down the aisle, to see how it walks and if it has any ailments, or throws a leg. [I give it] a visual assessment then take it into the stripping stall and pick up the foot and trim it. ‘‘You have your prefabricated shoes, which come in all different sizes and brands, then you shape and fit

Wo r d s

that to the horse’s foot, nail it on and finish it. “I really enjoy subcontracting to other farriers because you gain a lot of knowledge that way, meet new people. Different stables means learning different techniques too; there is a right and wrong way to shoe a horse, but it’s very subjective. “I enjoy broadening my knowledge by working with older and more experienced farriers who are willing to share what they know to make you a better race person.” May-Keas forms bonds with most of the horses, but says even she has her favourites. “Kiss Me Ketut and Little Bita Spunk were racing with Matt Brown, and will always be my two.” ●

pring racing delivers an annual changing of the guard in fashion trends. Often getting the outfit right comes down to knowing how to modernise the classic raceday themes, and wearing it like it was meant just for you. Strong silhouettes are predicted to dominate for women this year and power suiting is back, along with palazzo pants and cropped blazers. Structure is the ticket to a winning look. However, Victorian Racing Club’s official stylist Elliot Garnaut says suiting does not mean corporate. “Go for a strong pant suit, but wear it with a fitted blazer and show off your decolletage a little,” he says. Stella Artois Caulfield Cup Day (October 2o) and Ladbrokes Cox Plate Day (October 27) are less formal and the days to opt for contemporary labels and edgy streetstyle inspired looks. Why not give a nod to pastel (complemented by bell sleeves and frills on dresses and blouses); go for separate suiting (think the ’90s look, kept chic with slick millinery and block heels or stilettos); or try patterns – floral, animal print and stripes for an eclecticism that is perfect for the fashion thrill-seeker. When it comes to millinery, The Eternal Headonist has daring, artisan pieces, Matcho Suba delivers on sweeping bold statements, and modern crowns and perspex creations rule the collections of Danica Erard Millinery. Melbourne Racing Club ambassador Brooke Meredith’s tip is to aim for understated.

Ph o t o s

However, she says: “It’s more relaxed at Caulfield, so it’s an opportunity to express your own style and wear something that makes you feel good. “Prints are a great option, pastels are a big hit, but tonal dressing done well is also another way to look ontrend – go for pops of colour with accessories to keep it fresh.” The dress code is more classic on Flemington’s big days.

Traditionally, the AAMI Victoria Derby (November 3) is black and white, but if you must do a print, consider a contemporary point of view with polka dots, plaid, tweed or Prince of Wales checks – a nod to British royalty. Although Kennedy Oaks Day (November 8) is always about feminine style, Lexus Melbourne Cup Day (November 6) is where racegoers can modernise the bright colour theme of the occasion with baby pinks, lilac or blues, instead. ●

astels, chic three-piece suits and tonal dressing is the key to a winning menswear look at the races this season. But there’s a fine art to curating an outfit and, according to Miles Wharton of The Bespoke Corner Tailors, men must take note of a few rules before they walk out the door. “A three-piece suit will always turn heads,” says Wharton, who specialises in custom-made premium fabric suits from Europe. “Leave your business suit and corporate shirt behind, this is not the day.’’ Pinstripe and wide chalk-stripe suits and checks are a hot favourite for this year. Linen blends and mohair are best for breathability. And you’ll win extra points if you can strut like a dandy straight from an Italian piazza for a day at the track. It’s the season to think tonal, the time for tobacco and sandy tones, and pops of pastel, but always muted and nothing bold.

Tell your sartorial story of 50 shades with a single colour in mind. Slim-fitting suits are still king, but a slightly more relaxed silhouette is winning precedence – just make sure your pants aren’t too tight, because nothing looks worse than ill-fitting trousers. And if you’re doing the cropped length, be wary of nothing too short; you don’t want anything above your ankle. As the head of menswear for The Iconic, Tom Simpson travels the world several times a year looking out for the best in men’s fashion trends. He says the spring racing season will see a renaissance of the neutral suit, and pale linens will reign supreme. Simpson urges punters to think tonally – go all white or all black – but the look must be worn with confidence. “Match your cream linen suit with a pastel colour tie and some brown leather loafers,”

Simpson says. “And for the more daring gentleman, my suit colour suggestion of the season is khaki.” When it comes to footwear, the loafer is not going anywhere, while brogues and double monk straps are also highly recommended. “Designers like Gucci have made sure that the loafer will never die,” Simpson says. “Slimmer shapes and horse-bit details have been key loafer trends the past few seasons. If you’re confident and stylish, you can go that one step further and wear the latest rebellious ‘son-of’ trend – the open-back loafer.” Simpson’s tip to look the part on the more casual days – such as Caulfield’s carnival and Flemington’s Seppelt Wines Stakes Day – is to ditch the collared shirt. “Shirtless suiting looks dominated the catwalks in Paris and Milan,” Simpson says. ‘‘I’ve tried it and it has definitely made me stand out from the regular suited crowd.” ●

ew sports stars step away from AFL and still find themselves in the spotlight, but Sydney Swans legend, dual Brownlow medallist and Australian of the Year Adam Goodes is an exception. Through his ambassadorial role for David Jones, he’s the reason Indigenous rights and reconciliation inform the bigger picture at the department store – proof that politics and fashion have plenty of shelf life in retail. Goodes returns to Melbourne for the annual Caulfield Cup to host the exclusive David Jones marquee with ambassadors Jessica Gomes and Victoria Lee. This year, he’s dateless because his

wife, Natalie Crocker, will be at her best friend’s wedding in Queensland on the same day. While celebrities, fashion designers, executives and other VIPs do the rounds in the invitation-only marquee, Goodes will keep a watchful eye on the guests, making sure everyone’s having a good time. He might even get the conversation started by referring to the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation – a main charity partner for the store – of which he is now a board member. Goodes managed to woo David Jones CEO David Thomas on a four-day trip to the APY Lands [in a remote north-west pocket of South Australia] to see

how the charity partner is working closely with Indigenous communities for better schooling results. “I was fortunate enough to take David on this trip, which really opened his eyes to see the challenges these people are facing when running these programs,” Goodes says. “Teachers and teacher aides are doing incredible work to educate kids in these remote areas, and it’s not easy.” Why should a department store put its social conscience on the retail floor? “It doesn’t matter whether you’re a department store or an airline business, you need to be doing your bit for social change and reconciliation,” Goodes says. “Partnering with the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation is helping close the gap in Indigenous and non-Indigenous literary and numeracy rates. There’s a large percentage of our children and adults who can’t read or write well, and it affects their ability to contribute to mainstream Australia. Education is a key in closing the gap for that disadvantage.” Adelaide-born Goodes moved to country Victoria at the age of 13 with his mother, Lisa May, and brothers, Brett and Jake. His parents split when he was four, and he was raised by a loving mother who did all she could to give her kids a good education. From schooling in Merbein and then Horsham, Goodes says his school experience was a positive one. “I loved school. I was a total sponge and the learning came easy for me,” he says. “Our mum sacrificed a lot for us to have an education, put food in our tummies and have dinner on the table. I see a lot of families do it tougher than we did. We were always loved and supported. But mum was very hard on us and disciplined. It kept us involved in our studies. “If we didn’t get a good report card, we weren’t allowed to play sport. There were actions and consequences, and we knew that.” It’s not hard to see that family comes first for Goodes. He will spend Christmas with Jake and catch up with his niece and nephew while there. The 38-year-old, who hasn’t shied from revealing he can’t wait to start a family of his own, says he and his wife are keen to do so – and when the news can be shared, it will be. “I definitely want a family,” Goodes says. “It’s something Natalie and I are looking forward to. There’s no news at the moment, but it’s definitely on the horizon.” ●

OMENS From green suits

Lucky charms T

he racetrack is a hotbed of superstitions. I’m not really sure why anyone might would wear a green suit in Bourke Street but never, ever at Flemington, where it’s very bad luck. Or why a bird pooping on your flash suit is a dripping nuisance in the real world but a glorious, heaven-sent signal of good fortune at the track. Maybe the nature of the racetrack – of racing – lends itself to sudden onsets of spiritualism and omen fearing. These superstitions are centuries old and still going strong. You’ll only see green suits at the races from those who are new to the cult of the track. Early in the day, you will see the occasional white smudge on a suit and a confident smile from a punter deadset sure they will be rich by day’s end because the poop deems it so. You will see grey horses start at short odds on wet tracks not because they are proven swimmers, but only because they are grey. Racetrack lore has it that grey horses are all great wet trackers. Someone once said it had something to do with hoof pigment. One of the greatest grey horses was a sprinter called Schillaci, and Schillaci hated the wet. I pointed this out to a punter who subscribed to the grey/wet theory. “An aberration,’’ he muttered.

Old-school punters are always alert when they enter the racecourse because it’s good luck to back the first runner of the first trainer you see. It’s a hitand-miss superstition, usually just a desperate moan when Jo Bloggs’ 100-1 shot wins the first race. “Ya not gonna believe it, Bloggy was the first bloke I saw! But I backed the bloody favourite instead …’’ Some superstitions are personal rather than universal. Some are even regional. A Channel Seven reporter once did a light-hearted piece on “the early

to grey horses, superstitions reign at the racecourse.

One reporter mate believes that if he enters the track and sees a person with a certain type of “affliction’’, it’s a bad omen. Another usually astute journalist mate was once burdened with four numbers; 6, 3, 5, 2. His wife wasn’t particularly interested in horses but stood in front of him one morning when he was heading to the track and said she’d dreamed of those four numbers. “So I had to take these numbers in the quadrella every day from that day forward,’’ he rued.

“Racetrack lore has it that grey horses are all great wet trackers.” crow’’ at a Moonee Valley race meeting. The “crow’’ is when you cheer your horse prematurely. It’s regarded, in Victoria at least, as “terminal’’ if you mutter “gee, this thing’s travelling well …” before the horse even enters the home straight. But they’d never heard of the crow in Sydney. The reporter asked legendary Sydney racing scribe Max Presnell about the “crow” and Presnell screwed up his face. “The what?’’

Wo r d s

“I had to do it because I knew the day I didn’t they’d get up.’’ He was about to call an end to this superstitious nonsense one day at Sandown. “This is the last time,’’ he told himself. The numbers got up and he won five grand. The chore was rebooted by the first-ever success of the four numbers and continues unsuccessfully to this day, not because my mate is superstitious but because his wife checks the numbers every Saturday night. ●

he Victorian Racing Club’s impressive new $128 million stand will appeal to more than just racegoers. An eye-catching sculptural design, cool contemporary interiors and rooftop garden are designed to endear a new generation to the sport. The luxurious club stand, the 10th in its history, is Flemington’s boldest architectural statement since the VRC was founded 154 years ago. VRC chairman Amanda Elliott says she gave architects Bates Smart the task of designing something that would do for Melbourne what the Opera House did for Sydney. “We wanted to raise the bar and build a beautiful building to reflect what Flemington is all about,”

Elliott says. “It’s elegant but joyful; it’s got a lightness about it that lifts the spirits on entering – no matter how bad the day on the punt has gone.” Inspired by the shape of the race track and its rose gardens, the curvilinear stand was designed in the round so there are uninterrupted views of the course, the winning post and Melbourne’s CBD. Six years in the planning, the stand was completed in 20 months. The lobby feels more like a five-star hotel, and a central staircase leads to two upmarket restaurants, three cafes and eight bars, all with their own individual style. Elliott says the VRC has built the stand with the future in mind. “It will be something that nonracing participants along with our racing purists will enjoy.” Elliott says the roof was inspired by racing hats

and the petal-shaped overhangs by Flemington’s roses. Bates Smart director Jeff Copolov, who is responsible for the interiors, has nailed every single venue, she says. “We wanted to create a building that was as joyful and sculptural as a wonderful hat or dress,” Copolov says. The grandstands of the past faced one way with catering at the back, but Bates Smart wanted a building in the round with floor-to-ceiling glazing and uninterrupted views. “Great architecture is made by great clients, and Amanda was extraordinary in her passion and vision for the project,” Copolov says. The neutral external shell, the arrival spaces, the staircase and the members’ lounge are all genuinely timeless, Copolov says. The personality-filled food and beverage outlets are designed so they can be updated if needed in the future. In the lobby, a grand staircase creates a central

Copolov set out to create a sequence of spaces with different moods to offer a variety of experiences for racegoers. The upmarket restaurant on level three, the Byerley, features upholstered banquets, rich carpets and an acoustically-treated ceiling to create a rarefied air. In contrast, the contemporary Straight Six bistro is more textured with terrazzo stones, handmade tiles and woven metal finishes, giving it a robust, lively feel. The designer’s favourite space is the stylish Mumm champagne bar. Copolov and his team travelled to Reims in France to visit the Mumm cellar. The traditional riddling racks have inspired the

brass displays and the iconic Mumm red ribbon is used as a dynamic stripe in the bar, also echoing the slipstream of a horse race. And no detail was forgotten. The club stand’s different carpets, which were designed inhouse, pay tribute to the history of the club and British horse racing. Playing with the idea of traditional racing fabrics, the carpet designs reference tweed, houndstooth, tartan, plaid, stripes and one inspired by a Paul Smith-type pattern. Bespoke pieces echo the heritage of the VRC while items of the club’s collection are on display throughout the building. The roof garden on top of the five-level stand offers spectacular views and will be opening specially for AAMI Victoria Derby Day. Bates Smart director Kristen Whittle, who headed the architectural team, says the club stand is an elegant and timeless building that will become a strong new cultural symbol for generations to come. “We’ve captured everything we hoped and dreamed about,” Copolov says. ●

And if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be spending the dollars on champagne â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face it, you will be forking out $25 or more a glass for decent French bubbles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to choose a venue that not only knows its wine, but also adds glamour to the drinking. The Chablis Bar at Kisume, Chris Lucasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; multilevel sushi palace on Flinders Lane, is all about the glam.

Signature drink sophisticated vibe, Bellota is an ideal place to celebrate with the good stuff. Stokehouse in St Kilda has long been a racegoer's de facto clubhouse and the Stokebar, with its incredible views over the bay and continent-jumping finger food – prawn tacos, ceviche, fried chicken, oysters – always elevates the champagne-drinking experience. The award-winning wine list, assembled by sommelier Gavin Cremmings, contains incredible vintage and grower champagne alongside crowd pleasers like Veuve Clicquot. The bar at Cutler & Co is one for the designconscious racegoer with an eye for artisan champagne from small producers. There’ll usually be a couple by the glass, perhaps a NV Duval-Leroy, plus a bottle list that will excite the buffs. Order the fruits de mer, a market selection of best quality seafood, and really do the racing carnival in style. ●

It’s not champagne, but Kisume’s Philip Rich reckons that Patrick Piuze sparkling wine, made from chardonnay and pinot grapes in Chablis, is the drink for the summer – elegant, bone dry and just $20 a glass.

Sriracha hot sauce lines the rim, and bacon, soaked in maple syrup and crisped in the oven, rocks as the garnish. ●

he Bloody Mary is the Elvis of cocktails, loaded with personality and all about the bling. In Milwaukee, “the bloody”, as it’s affectionately known, sparked garnish wars of over-the-top insanity, with Sobelman’s Pub and Grill creating a 13-topping bonanza of cheeseburger sliders and mini-dogs, culminating in a whole fried chicken. Considered it the ultimate “hair of the dog”; there may be some scientific truth to its rejuvenating properties. Tomato juice replaces electrolytes and sodium, lemon juice gives a hit of vitamin C, and vodka resets the alcoholic equilibrium, delaying the inevitable hangover hurt.

Wo r d s

Folklore has it the original tomato juice-vodka combo was first mixed in the 1921 by American bartender Fernand Petiot at Harry’s New York Bar in Paris, a favourite hangout of Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, and Gertrude Stein. Its incarnations are myriad, and few cocktails are as polarising, or revered. In The Mixer’s Manual, Dan Jones writes: “The bloodiest of all the bloody drinks – never has a cocktail recipe been so debated.” Most loosely agree on vodka, Tabasco, Worcestershire, lemon juice and celery – a brew that gives the BM its superb savoury umami-ness.

ST BOULEVARD \ A PERSONAL PLAYGROUND CLOSE TO PRAHRAN & ST KILDA

n the cusp of St Kilda and Prahran, St Kilda Road development St Boulevard is set to offer residents their own personal playground on one of Melbourne’s most notable boulevards, thanks to its wide range of amenities. The three-building, high-rise project is developed by The Shakespeare Group and designed by Elenberg Fraser, and will include wellness and lifestyle facilities as well as 435 apartments. The project’s first two buildings, Anaca and Ginko, have almost sold out. Magnolia, St Boulevard’s third and final building, has 40 apartments still available. Brett Griffith, director at selling agent Colliers International, describes Magnolia as “the premium owner-occupier” tower due to its “magnificent” views towards the CBD. With construction underway and scheduled to be complete by early 2020, Griffith says focus has turned to how St Boulevard will be managed and maintained once residents have moved in. “With all these large projects, the key is [appointing] the right owners’ corporation and building manager,” he says. ● ERIN MUNRO

HAMPTON \ 38 RAYNES PARK ROAD 4

Is this the oldest house in Hampton? No, but if you walk past and think it is, that’s the highest compliment you could pay its owner. The time-traveller’s home looks so utterly Victorian that only the neighbours would know that it never saw a day of the 19th century. It was put together like a million-piece jigsaw puzzle by its owner, a builder whose heritage projects in Armadale and Toorak made him long to bring that 1880s swank to his own neighbourhood. He literally did, in salvage – leadlight, Baltic pine floorboards and a fascinating fanlight with a painted portrait of a lion, plus an iron lion as a doorknob. Built on the bones of a 1950s cottage, the single-level house opens to a garden with large lawn and in-ground trampoline. With open-plan living and dining, an adjoining family room, four double bedrooms and a study, the scene is set for contemporary living with a dollop of an earlier age. The Baltic pine central hall passes as Victorian. However, the bedrooms and study are far more spacious than the cramped chambers those long-ago folks put up with. Three bedrooms have wardrobes and desks and share the fully tiled bathroom. The main bedroom, at the front, has a tiled en suite and a fitted dressing room. A few people can nestle comfortably in the large study, which has cupboards and two desks.

BRIGHTON \ 12 VAUCLUSE STREET 4

One block north of Bay Street in a cul de sac of gum trees, this pretty Edwardian gets the best of village, bush and beach life. The single-level house has been expanded by a revamp that has preserved its pleasantly prim character while revving up its family-friendly assets. The bay window living room (with marble fireplace and leadlight) is a cosy counterpart to the family dining area, which opens to a skylit heated deck above the lawn. The steel kitchen, with its Ilve range and Stone Italiana island, gets top marks for beauty plus practicality. Four double bedrooms (with wardrobes) include the front main suite. The study opens to a side courtyard. ● ALISON BARCLAY Agent: Marshall White, Andrew Campbell 0419 366 545 Price: $2.4 million-$2.55 million Auction: 11.30am, October 20
