'WAITING FOR THEIR HORSES. Misses Heffernan, Joan Horsley, Peggy Robertson (rode the winner 'Murtha') , Elizabeth McFarlane, Ailsa Robertson. The girls showed excellent control over their charges' - the Sydney Mail's caption... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/104228560 - the Land, 20th March, 1936...the Land's version...

Portrait of jockeys at a clubhouse

    I gather this is a pic of amateur riders...taken at a country race meeting...the location looks similar to the jockey's room at Yass, but it isn't a match. The chap on the right is Sydney solicitor Dennis Allen, who was a prominent amateur rider in the 1920s and early 1930s...the chap 2nd left might be Jack Melvil, another prominent amateur rider, but I'm unsure. trove.nla.gov.au/work/184210358 - Allen can be identified via this NLA Fairfax pic... trove.nla.gov.au/work/13508018 - this SLNSW pic shows Allen and other riders at Yass...a similar kind of location...
