The editor’s desk
Welcome to our annual spring racing edition. No one covered the sport better than the late journalist Les Carlyon, who wrote about racing (a carry-over from our aristocratic roots) with a romanticism that is sometimes lost in this Instagram age – from the scallywags in the betting ring to the body language of the thoroughbreds. Through his prose, a handsome stallion with a neck arched like a carousel horse became a swashbuckling Errol Flynn-type character. Here, we capture that admiration, plus the fun of the party and tips on throwing a memorable Cup Day celebration at home. ●

““I am Crystal Kimber” … and I’ve won Myer Fashions on the Field I first entered the junior Fashions on the Field
when I was 16, with an outfit I made in textile class. Both my mum and my grandma were dressmakers, so they were always sewing when I was a kid. When I was younger, Melbourne Cup was the big day on the calendar. One thing I always remembered watching on TV was the Fashions on the Field – I really dreamed of getting up there one day myself. In 2017, I took out the national final, which was so unexpected. It was probably one of my cheapest outfits, but definitely the most special. I inherited the skirt from my grandma, and she bought it at an opportunity shop about 30 years ago. I loved it as a kid because it was all these beautiful bright colours, and all the embroidery was made of very delicate raffia. When she passed away, she left me the skirt and I always said I wanted to make it into a dress because it was very long. When my mum and I were planning spring carnival outfits, it was sitting in mum’s sewing room, kind of half-made into a dress that we didn’t really know what to do with. We put an interesting top on it, and I wore a crown-meets-halo headpiece. I won a Lexus car, a massive Myer shopping spree and a Kennedy watch, which I still absolutely adore. This year I am the Myer Fashions on the Field ambassador, and I get to judge all the days. I think for me, sleeve detail is really on trend at the moment, and there are so many different ways you can wear a statement sleeve – a one-shoulder with a puffed sleeve, a long sleeve; there are lots of soft chiffons as well. Colour also plays a huge part, obviously outside of Derby Day. Expect to see a lot of ice blues and some pastels. Another trend that’s slowly coming through is high-shine PVC fabrics. A lot of designers, including Alex Perry, are slowly bringing through the PVC. Mum still makes some of my dresses. I do all the hand sewing and she does the machine work. Fashions on the Field is a fun addiction. I’ve made some really amazing friends over the years – it’s also about being able to catch up with people and sharing your mutual love of fashion. That’s been special over the years, and that’s what keeps me coming back. ● ● flemington.com.au/fotf

KENNEDY’S NEW DAWN COVER STORY An emerging thoroughbred racing stable
of dedicated horsemen aims to break from the field.
R
etail king James Kennedy is perched high up in a steward’s box, binoculars fixed squarely beneath his brow at Pakenham Racing Club. Beside him, renowned South African horse trainer Chesney van Zyl surveys a handful of thoroughbreds as they pace eagerly around the edges of the track. They trade quiet observations as most Melburnians are still waking up. There is one filly in particular showing potential. She doesn’t even have a name yet but is the most advanced of the eight runners Kennedy has adopted under his new Victorian stable. “It doesn’t mean she is the best,” he admits. “She is just the most likely to get running early. It’s all about timing. You just have to be patient.” The man who turned his late father’s watch company into an Australian business empire doesn’t just have his eye on the yearlings below.

He is ready to claim a stake in Australia’s multibillion-dollar racing industry. But like the freshly saddled two-year-olds that spring and jolt with energy in the morning light, Kennedy must learn to pace himself if he is to break from the pack. Kennedy Racing is pioneering what he hopes will become a revolutionary training movement. Where out-of-form runners are too often retired and forgotten, the 40-year-old Kennedy has plans to expand a stable with an ethos grounded on the teachings of famous “horse whisperer” Monty Roberts. It is a pain-free approach. Equine mindfulness, if you like. Kennedy sees the treatment of horses as key to his stable’s success. This passionate racing enthusiast – in slim-fit jeans and suede boots, no less – wants to be known for being more than just a naming rights sponsor. “The industry has fallen short,” Kennedy says. “That’s my belief. Animal welfare in general for me was incredibly important. “When you buy a race horse I think you take responsibility for the animal for its entire life. Race horses are not a commodity.” Together with Roberts, who in recent months has
“I was told once by a very successful man that you don’t really hit your straps in big business until you’re 60, so that’s encouraging.”
James Kennedy keeps a watchful eye on his horses, main; Kennedy Racing’s Pakenham stables, right.
been working closely with the Queen, Kennedy and trainer van Zyl share a vision for a stable capable of making a dent in group 1 fixtures. The team currently works from a modest facility at Pakenham but have plans to expand the operation under Roberts’ tutelage. An American horse behavioural expert who has been hailed for his non-violent training techniques, the 84-year-old believes the secret to a horse’s racing success is to identify the trigger for rogue behaviour then manage it. Kennedy understands that in an industry where thousands of livelihoods depend on the hooves tearing down a track on a carnival day, such a passive approach might be difficult to swallow for owners and trainers in need of tangible outcomes. But that is what he hopes might define him. “We are cruelty-free. I am not going to be a martyr for somebody who is trying to revolutionise the racing industry‚ that’s not what I am in this for.” In the meantime, Kennedy plans to continue
reinforcing the framework of a business his father Louis first started as a jewellery shop front in Sydney’s Double Bay. His naming rights deal with the Victoria Racing Club for Kennedy Oaks Day is halfway through its five-year contract. When asked about the future, he doesn’t see any reason why the relationship shouldn’t continue well beyond that. Meanwhile, Kennedy Luxury Group remains a match-day partner with the AFL for its annual fixtures in China. Kennedy is certain his father would be proud of what he’s achieved. “I think he would be impressed by the business that I have built and the roads I have taken in life,” he says. “I was told once by a very successful man that you don’t really hit your straps in big business until you’re 60, so that’s encouraging. “I have still have 20 years to go.” ● ● kennedyracing.com.au

The green shoots of a famous family
O
ne of racing’s most momentous images is the four Freedman brothers joined together to raise their arms in triumph after Makybe Diva won her third Melbourne Cup in 2005. The Freedmans got together for the photo in homage not only to the historic moment, but also to repeat what they had done similarly after winning four previous Melbourne Cups. It was an image of family and brotherhood. Although elder brother Lee Freedman was the managing director who, in the early days, held the trainer’s licence for the family that the press nicknamed the FBI – Freedman Brothers Incorporated – he was ably assisted by his brothers Richard, Anthony and Michael as a training team. Less than 10 years later, the brothers as a pack are no more. Staleness and circumstances split them, and thus ended a 20-year run for a racing juggernaut never before seen or since equalled. Apart from the five Melbourne Cups, the Freedmans won four Caulfield Cups, four Golden Slippers and two Cox Plates and combined for more than 130 group 1 wins. The Freedmans are now spread far and wide but all are still heavily involved in racing. Lee, now 63, “retired” a couple of times, but seems to have found a happy place as the leading trainer in Singapore. Richard, 57, who was the first to leave the Freedman nest, is in partnership with Michael, 51, who had successful training stints in Singapore, Sydney and Hong Kong before returning last year to Sydney. Lee’s long-time assistant Anthony, 55, remained on the Mornington Peninsula to train a relatively small team compared with the halcyon days of the 1990s. However, times are a-changing. There’s something of a rebirth of the Freedman empire as two sons of the “Fab Four” are emerging not only to revitalise the Freedman name in racing but also to revitalise their fathers. Anthony’s 23-year-old son, Sam, the youngest of three, was always the “one most likely” of the offspring of the four brothers to follow them into horse training. Continued p13

“That’s despite Dad doing everything to talk me out of it,” he says. Sam is the foreman at Anthony’s Pinecliff (Mount Eliza) and Flemington stables and the usually stoic Anthony admits that working with his son has instilled a new focus and a fresh approach – and the results for the stable have been quite astonishing in the past two years. The Freedman father and son will saddle up their first Melbourne Cup runner when Steel Prince steps out at Flemington. The circle is complete. Sam said he was always interested in horses, but his keenness for racing spiked when he was at Flemington to see Makybe Diva win the Cup in 2005. After finishing school and starting a university writing degree, he went to England to play cricket. While there he took a part-time job with trainer Roger Varian and he found that what started as something to do to fill in time turned into a full-time position over two years. He returned to Melbourne ready to join his father at Pinecliff, where he says the two often butt heads; at this stage, there is usually only one winner but the tide is turning as the young horseman gains more experience. “I really enjoy being with Dad while he is

inspecting yearlings at the sales. He has a great eye and has had tremendous success buying horses at the right price. I’ve learnt a lot from him about the type of horse he wants to buy,” Sam says. North of the border, Richard Freedman was stunned when his son Will, 28, after spending most of his time playing golf and singing in a band, tapped his father on the shoulder: “Dad, I want to be a horse trainer.” Richard laughs when asked what’s it like working with his son: “A lot like

working with your brothers,” he says in an obvious reference to the sometime volatile existence of the four Freedman brothers matching wits under one roof. However, he admits that he’s enjoying working with and teaching his son, who is a late starter to the racing game. Will – named after William McLachlan, the Freedman brothers’ great-grandfather who was a champion rider in the early 20th century and won three Melbourne Cups – completed a media degree at Sydney University before deciding that working with horses was his vocation. Richard wasn’t as convinced, so he sent Will to work at Yarraman Park Stud in Scone with the strict instructions to “give him all the worst jobs” in the hope the experience would knock the idea out of his head. Despite given the task of feeding mares and foals in dry, dusty paddocks in 41-degree heat, Will loved every moment of it. The die was cast. “The opportunity of working with Will was one of the reasons I returned to training. We started with only nine horses at Hawkesbury, but now we have about 60 in work,” Richard says. Will completed a Darley Flying Start course, which is an international educational racing
program sponsored by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, although you get the feeling the hands-on education he gets from his father and uncle Michael is by far more beneficial. Will says he was always interested in horse racing, especially the family history, but was steered away from it by his family, conscious that there are better business opportunities in the wider world for a bright young man. “My light bulb moment came when I was picking up stones in paddocks in the heat at Yarraman Park. I realised while I was there that it was the animal that I loved, not so much the business,” he says. The learning curve has been swift. “Richard and I have robust discussions that only a father and son can have, and while he’s given me autonomy to run the barn, in the end there has got to be one decision-maker,” Will says. “I think working with me has given him a renewed interest in horse training.” Lee’s two daughters, media personality Emma and make-up artist Georgia, didn’t get “horsey” in the true sense but have forged successful careers on their own. Emma recently provided Lee with his first grandchild, a son, also named William. The Freedman name has a way to go yet in this racing game. ● ● freedman.com.au ● richardfreedman.com.au

A golden era of racing TRADITION Fifth-generation Melbourne jewellers are
entrusted with creating the Caulfield Cup trophy.
T
M E G A N H U S T WA IT E
he Stella Artois Caulfield Cup may be run and won in a matter of minutes, but its stunning trophy is lovingly crafted for months leading into the big race. Armadale institution Catanach’s Jewellers has been making the cup since 2006 and it truly is a team effort. Cup maker and silversmith David Russ leads the field who work on the trophy for more than six months. The Australian timber that forms the base is hand-turned and an engraver cuts out the handles then inscribes the cup which stands at 40 centimetres, with gold that weighs 1.5 kilograms, and spans 25 centimetres in width from handle to handle.
The Caulfield Cup is made from gold sheets rolled in Germany.
Catanach’s managing director and owner Amanda Catanach, the fifth generation of the family business established in 1874, says creating the Caulfield Cup is an art. “The cup is made out of solid ninecarat gold and the gold has to be rolled out in sheets and that’s done in Germany because there’s no rollers in Australia that can roll out the sheets to the specifics we need. That takes six to eight weeks,’’ she says. “One of the old masters who made the cup for many years taught our trophy maker David Russ how to make it. “The layers are put on a solid steel shape and the gold is spun around them, a little bit like spinning wool, and that forms the shape of the cup. It’s a historical cup and the shape doesn’t change, it’s been very much the same shape since the inception of the race in 1879. “There’s about 10 parts to the Caulfield Cup. The bowl, handles, three or four parts to the stem and the base and all of them are spun in different sections then hand soldered together with gold solder. Then the cup has to be polished and perfectly finished. It takes a long, long time but it’s a labour of love.” The family business is proud to play a pivotal role in one of the biggest days on the Australian racing calendar. “We love making the cup and all things Caulfield. My father started the relationship in the early 1970s

“The cup has to be polished and perfectly finished. It takes a long, long time but it’s a labour of love.” and we’ve been aligned ever since, sometimes in big ways – like we are now, we’re one of their major sponsors – and sometimes in small ways,’’ Catanach says. “It’s a beautiful piece and a thrill to be able to say we make one of the most iconic horse racing trophies in Australia.” The final touches to the Caulfield Cup were made on October 4. It will be safely stored until race day on October 19. “There’s a timber case we hand-make that it lives in. There’s a replica that does the rounds
because we’re quite particular and don’t want hands on the genuine cup,’’ Catanach says. Amanda’s great, great-grandfather George arrived in Melbourne from England during the gold rush to produce hand-crafted fine jewellery. Today, her daughter Olivia runs Catanach’s trophy division which crafts 2000 trophies each year. The business also gives its name to Catanach’s Jewellers Blue Sapphire Stakes Day, on October 16. ● ● catanachs.com.au

Champagne tastes
T
here is no such thing as too much champagne. You may have read that on a T-shirt, and it’s completely true. But while champagne reliably brings the fun – and plenty of it – it has a serious side, too. “Champagne has always been my wild card,” says Marc Esteve, sommelier at hotel QT Melbourne. “If I have any doubts or hesitations about what to suggest to pair with food, I’ll often go in that direction. It’s one of those drinks that go with everything: breakfast, lunch and dinner.” He’s the right man to be in charge of the drinks project at the QT’s intimate new private dining room. A collaboration with storied champagne house Perrier-Jouët, the 20-seat room hiding coyly from the flagship Pascale restaurant is a modern manifestation of the belle epoque. Projections of the anemone flower motif designed by art nouveau luminary Emile Galle in 1902 bathe diners in a wash of pinks, greens and purples.

Just add a hyper-real garden, lushly planted around the periphery, and intensify it with mirrored surfaces and it’s little wonder this triangulation of art, food and champagne has been dubbed the “Art of the Wild”. The dining experience – which can be booked at the hotel – matches up to five courses with five champagnes, and these extremely special vintage drops certainly have their part to play. “To be honest, matching beef with champagne is challenging,” QT executive chef Andy Harmer says. “When I was first told about the project I had my doubts about whether it could be done, but we came up with a Sher wagyu porterhouse with tarragon emulsion and turnips pickled in beetroot juice, along with little pickled baby beets. It’s a prime example of a dish that needs to be matched with a vintage champagne.
L A R I S SA D U B E C KI
“We needed to embrace the greater complexity to match up to the intramuscular fat of the beef and the creamy emulsion of the sauce. The 2011 Belle Epoque champagne was perfect.” For the dessert course – pear mille feuille with salted caramel, sandalwood nut and leaves of the beguiling herb known as fruit salad sage – the Belle Epoque makes another appearance. This time it’s in the form of the 2006 Belle Epoque rosé, which is equal parts delicate, rich and voluptuous. The tasting sessions in preparation for the Art of the Wild menu sound like no great hardship. “There were five of us to get a range of palates,” Harmer says. “It took quite a lot of time but it was a really great process to go through. I became much more aware of the versatility of champagne, and really loved the chance of being much more fun and playful with it.”
“Champagne has always been my wild card. It’s one of those drinks that goes with everything: breakfast, lunch and dinner.”
MARC ESTEVE
Its versatility is on show through the meal, which begins with hiramasa kingfish with yuzu dashi, a light and delicate dish that marries with the nonvintage brut. “It has the nuttiness, creaminess and floral notes all going on at the same time and it’s the style of champagne that has really made PerrierJouët’s name,” Esteve says. Whether you choose four courses or five, the Art of the Wild is all about resetting the expectations of a dining age suffering a seen-it-all-before cynicism. It’s about pushing the boundaries of one of the great drinks, taking it for a spin through a world of possibility not imagined by people who simply see it as an aperitif. Not least, it’s a chance to enjoy the beauty of a room that’s a complete fantasia. “People who come into Pascale when there’s an event going on in the private dining room always stop to have a sticky-beak,” Harmer says. “It’s just beautiful at night; the kind of place you want to linger.” ● ● qthotelsandresorts.com/melbourne/

f recent house prices are anything to go by, Flemington might just be Melbourne’s most underrated suburb. Just four kilometres north-west of the CBD, this suburb is among inner-city areas with the biggest year-on-year decline in property prices (according to the Domain House Price Report, March 2019) and at $880,000 has the lowest median house price of the bunch. Locals frequently describe Flemington as a hidden gem boasting a diverse population, hospitality and ample public transport. While many know the suburb for the racecourse alone, the heart of Flemington is Newmarket Plaza, next to the station and the area’s many restaurants. Single-fronted Victorian houses make up the
majority of properties on nearby tree-lined streets in a friendly community. Flemington residents include families with young children and teenagers. Iconic Flemington dining options are its quality Malaysian restaurants. The Laksa King restaurant is the largest and most popular, although plenty claim Chef Lagenda next door reigns superior. Lesser known is M Yong Tofu around the corner that serves a more authentic Malaysian laksa with a choice of noodles and additions. Racecourse Road and Pin Oak Crescent host other restaurants ranging from Vietnamese (Pho House), Chinese (I Love Dumplings), Somali (New Somali Kitchen and Somali Eats), Ethiopian (The Abyssinian) and modern Australian brunch cafes (Noughts & Crosses, Pepper, Wolf + Hound.) ●

With all experts collaborating under one roof, we can design and build with more attention to detail, less cost and zero compromises. To see what Collection has to offer, visit our Display Suite.

COLLECTION \ A NEW ARTISTIC RANGE OF HOMES FROM GLENVILL
E
xciting original design and affordability aren’t often spoken about together. However after focusing heavily on the wildly successful YarraBend project, Glenvill Group chief executive and design director Len Warson says he wanted to take a fresh approach to new home design for Melbourne’s inner suburbs and deliver Glenvill quality in “incredibly exciting homes inexpensively”. “People have to spend a lot more on land now and we want to deliver designer houses at affordable prices with everything included and no hidden surprises,” he says. The result is Collection, Glenvill Homes’ new range of predesigned houses created to offer exciting design at accessible prices for inner suburban knockdown-rebuild buyers. While Glenvill is best known for designing and building bespoke homes starting from $1 million, Collection homes start from $550,000 for a four-bedroom, double-storey house with high-level standard inclusions. Another advantage is a faster build; plans are predesigned to meet Melbourne planning requirements so homes can be completed within 12 months. Glenvill engaged leading architectural practice DKO Architecture to design a series of interior schemes for Collection, using leading products which Glenvill is currently using in the renovation of a $15 million Melbourne home. Warson says Glenvill has been able to leverage the purchasing power of the YarraBend project to offer high quality finishes and fittings at affordable prices. “When you build a Collection home it will look like you have used your own architect,” says Warson. “You are getting Glenvill’s design DNA and quality at a really affordable price.” ● LIZ McLACHLAN

Here’s an enticing proposition – a sophisticated townhouse as modern as tomorrow, close to cafes and restaurants and with the lifestyle bonus of a rooftop terrace edged with garden where you can relax and enjoy wide-ranging views. The four-level property is in the heart of Ascot Vale, moments from Union Road’s shopping, services and restaurants. With a sleek and interesting facade to the street, this home offers convenient and stylish urban living. On the ground floor, a flexible room now used as a study shares the space with the double garage. In a design move that maximises views and light, the first floor is the bedroom level and the living zone is on the upper level. The main bedroom has an indulgent en suite, mirrored built-in wardrobes and opens to a private balcony. The two remaining bedrooms share the fully tiled family bathroom and have built-in robes. One of these also has its own balcony and all the bedrooms are carpeted. The second floor is virtually all living area. There are engineered oak floors and light pours in from a wall of windows and doors that open to a balcony. Here, the kitchen is spacious and well-designed with a butler’s pantry, a second full-height pantry, ample storage and a wide waterfall island bench. Stone benches, softclose cabinetry and Miele appliances help make this a pleasurable space for the family chef. White and dark wood cabinets complement the neutral tones of the room. Also on this floor is the Euro laundry and a powder room. The rooftop terrace spreads over the entire area of the

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery. Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,â&#x20AC;? Dr Stubbs says. A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses. One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing my patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â&#x20AC;? No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
