Brisbane Cup

Postby Radish » Fri Feb 03, 2023 4:11 am

The Brisbane Cup Queensland Australia.According to records Forester was the first winner in 1866.....BUT...
Junius Australia’s first truly outstanding racehorse won The Brisbane Cup in 1826 and 1827.Also I see Bennalong won in 1830 and Bay Camerton won in 1831.
The most unbelievable thing is.....Junius,Bennalong and Bay Camerton(and obviously other horses) won their Brisbane Cups at a track called Camperdown just near Sydney (New South Wales)
I cannot find any other records and would like some of you clever people to look into this.
Some people may not know but the Camperdown track is in New South Wales some 600 odd miles south of Brisbane (Queensland)
Am looking forward to everyone’s responses.
