ADELAIDE - DAN'S SON
Adelaide, celebrating South Australia's centenary, hosted the second Inter Dominion Series in 1937. On its 2.5 furlong Wayville Saucer, right in town, a drama packed carnival unfolded before crowds of up to 25,000 as Melbourne 7yo Dan's Son (bought for 11gns as a 3yo) emerged victorious.

PERTH - LOGAN DERBY
A ludicrous points system used for the earliest series saw Tasmanian mare Evicus, after finishing second in each of her heats and the £1500 Grand Final, awarded the title ahead of her brilliant compatriot Logan Derby, who won all three of his heats as well as the Final.
