TERRIFIC TRIO

TERRIFIC TRIO

Ern McQuillan snapped three tremendously talented riders outside the Randwick jockeys room in 1952. On the left is Billy Fellows (34) who three years earlier had won the Melbourne Cup on Foxzami. Fellows always maintained that Foxzami had been a certainty beaten in the VRC Derby the previous year.

In the 1950s the legendary George Moore went to significant expense to keep a step ahead of his rivals. He employed a professional cameraman to film all Sydney metropolitan meetings, from a position high up in the public stand. It was a straight out lateral coverage, with no head on shots or fancy 'cutaways', but it was of enormous benefit to Moore in selecting his rides and keeping up with the form.
