Ern McQuillan stationed himself at the Mile start at Randwick to snap this one in 1951. From the left, jockeys whose faces are clearly visible are, Darby Munro, Jack Thompson, Bill Cook, Ray Selkrig, Arthur Podmore, George Moore and Noel McGrowdie. On the extreme outside is Stan Cassidy. It's interesting to note that goggles were not used at this time. Photos indicate they came into popular usage from the mid 1950’s. Sore and runny eyes would have been a common sight before the introduction of race goggles.
