DID ATHOL GEORGE MULLEY EVER RIDE TULLOCH?

Here’s one for trivia buffs. Did Athol George Mulley ever ride Tulloch?

He never rode the champion in a race, but there’s no doubt he was the rider the morning Ern McQuillan took this pic in 1957. The fact that Mulley was wearing colours, would indicate the great horse competed in an official trial, or participated in an exhibition gallop at a “Breakfast With The Stars” session.

Tulloch raced frequently in Melbourne, winning 13 races in the Southern capital.
