The VRC Standish Handicap Race Day celebrated the $200,000 Group 3 Standish Handicap (1200m), honoring Melbourne Cup creator Captain Frederick Standish. Local talent It'sourtime, trained by Danny O'Brien, took out the feature and secured an invitation into the $1.5 million Group 1 Yulong Newmarket Handicap.
In collaboration with the Victorian Jockeys’ Association, the day celebrated the vital contributions of jockeys to the sport of horse racing and encouraged racegoers to support the National Jockeys Trust, which provides assistance to riders and their families in need.
