As the industry prepares to celebrate the feats of another A G Hunter Cup winner in Melton on Saturday night, it’s timely to recall the anniversary one of the most important dates in the feature’s history!
Named in honour of Alexander George Hunter, the inaugural Cup was run on January 1, 1949, with New South Wales champion Silver Peak capturing the 2000 pounds event for Frank Culbert, beating Amorous and Miraculous by two yards as a 5/4 favourite.
