Weighing in at the Birdsville Races, Queensland, ca. 1926

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Melbourne Cup might be the race that stops the nation, but the Birdsville Races is the race that sees the nation flock to one of Australia’s most remote towns. Well, maybe not the whole nation, but over 6,000 eager racegoers transform the 100–person town of Birdsville into a pumping metropolis the first weekend of September. It’s not just punters who travel hundreds of kilometres for the event – with $200,000 dollars in prize money up for grabs – horses and jockeys have been known to venture from interstate and overseas to gallop in the 13-race program.

  Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Thoroughbred Horse Racing, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  It's Maher in the written caption, not Mahler. Daniel Aloysius Maher (1881-1916) was an American jockey who worked in the UK from 1908-1913, before he died at age 35 from tuberculosis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_A._Maher

  pennylrichardsca and mando maniac: Thanks for catching the typo and supplying the additional biographical information and image! We'll fix the spelling and add some information when we update the record.
