About Fine and Dandy

Fine and Dandy was an Australian champion racehorse in the period from 1958 to 1963. As a 2 year old, he won all the major races he contested in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland and, as a result, broke Tulloch's stakes winning record for 2 year olds. After an unlucky defeat at his first start, he finished his 2 year old season with 7 consecutive wins and set the record for earnings with £19,024. When the Free Handicap weights were issued by the Australian Jockey Club handicapper, Fine and Dandy was the clear champion 2 year old. He raced against champions his own age such as Noholme, Aquanita and Travel Boy, and younger champions such as Sky High and Wenona Girl, all of whom he defeated in races now classed as Group 1. As an older horse, he won the prestigious Doncaster Handicap twice. The first time in 1961 he won by 4 lengths, setting a new Australian record for the mile, a time that was not equalled or broken before racing converted to the metric system. After a brief retirement he came back and won a second Doncaster in a time just 0.8 second outside his Australian Record.
