    Based on races result from that day as per link below, this appears to be the finish of the Third Division race won by Lady Vizier from Silver Night and Yokel. Other starters were Bonnie Mack, Lady Wraith, The Singer, Blue Herod, Mira's Luck, Lord Lisbon, Kerfoot, Royal Frisco, and Perfect. The margins were a neck by half a length. There were no other races on the day with such a close finish. nla.gov.au/nla.news-article41109752

    Hmmm - Where is or was Bennelong ?
  • Mich said:
    It's Binalong, near Yass. Albert Street, Queen St, the creek, even the little billabong.
  • Mich said:
    The subdivision plan for Binalong is much more extensive than the number of people who ever went to live there.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Mich Good call ! Thank you.

    GoogleMapsSatelliteView - that section of Albert Street is now Garryowen Road - goo.gl/maps/25NNS . There is no sign of any racecourse ...
