Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
BernboroughPrint Page 
Bernborough won his first race as a two year old in 1942 on a protest. Between 1945 and 1946, of 18 starts he won 15 consecutive races carrying top weight. His permanent jockey was Athol Mulley, and his highest weight was 10 stone 10 lbs in the Doomben Cup in 1946. He fractured a sesamoid bone in his left foreleg and was sold to a United States owner for 93,000 pounds, who later sold him to Kentucky Stud for $300,000. He died in 1960 in the United States while at stud.
