Description

'On Ya Bart' is a tribute to the man who has become the face of racing in Australia. Bart Cummings is racing's most recognizable personality with his abundant wavy grey hair and bushy eyebrows. His features have been displayed in every major newspaper and racing magazine on an almost daily basis for more than forty years. Prime Ministers have come and gone but Bart remains a constant. His name is synonymous with the Melbourne Cup which he has won a record 12 times. Everyone knows the Melbourne Cup and if they know the Melbourne Cup they know Bart Cummings. This tribute tells of the careers of Bart's 12 Melbourne Cup winners and describes how his judgment and 'eye' for a horse allowed him to buy yearlings that others had rejected and turn them into champions. It details the genius of the man in being able to propound a formula for the success of his horses and then go against his own theories if he circumstances warranted it. A man of droll wit Bart is famous for his 'one-line' responses. The ones quoted in this tribute will bring a wry smile to your lips and help you to understand the character of this unique man. Bart's lifetime achievements are listed so that you can trace all his Group One winners.all 253 of them. and the races they have won, right from the present day back to 1959 when he won the SAJC Derby with Stormy Passage. And every horse he has ever raced in the Melbourne Cup is listed.78 of them over a span of 51 years resulting in 12 winners and nine placegetters. You can read the author, Ron Taylor's assessment of Bart and his contribution of racing after working with him on a journalist-trainer basis for nearly 50 years. This is as much a pictorial tribute as it is a written one. Photographer Colin Bull has put together a magnificent collection of shots featuring every one of Bart's Melbourne Cup winners and some of the horses they raced against. Colin's talent at looking for the 'off-beat' picture is demonstrated in many of the illustrations that bring this tribute booklet alive.
