He can let everything unfold in front of him and put his rivals away with ease. BRAYDEN STAR has an explosive turn of foot whilst JIMMY THE BEAR can box seat. DAVID BOURKE The Provincial Plate was inaugurated in 1956 to offer an opportunity to win at Flemington for horses who competed predominantly in the country. Appropriately, it was re-named in 1999 by the VRC Committee to honour the valuable contribution made to Victorian racing by David Joseph Bourke, CBE (1930–2005). He and his family had an historic association with Pakenham Racing Club, where he became Secretary aged 19. He chaired the Victorian Country Racing Council 1973–83. He was a VRC Committee member continuously from 1983 to 2002, Vice-Chairman 1990 and VRC Chairman 1991–98, promoting the Melbourne Cup internationally.
