Abstract

Although much had been written about the participation of Aboriginal sportsmen and women, particularly in boxing, football and athletics, there had been little researched or written regarding Aboriginal involvement with horse-racing. This article is the result of research during early 1996 in the author's term as the Aboriginal History Stanner Fellow, Australian National University. Sadly the depth of research was restricted by the limit of the author's stay of only four months. In mid 1998 the author received a grant from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies to enable me to encompass a far more exhaustive study on the aspect of Aboriginal involvement with the 'Sport of Kings'.
