He is likely to be stalking the speed and will be aiming to do his best work late in the run. FIRST IMMORTAL races extremely well at this track/distance. CAPTAIN PLUTO should find this race easier. SIR HENRY BOLTE Sir Henry Edward Bolte (1908–1990), after retiring as Premier of Victoria from 1955 to 1972, was elected to the VRC Committee in December 1972. His horse Ramlegh earlier that year had won the VRC Grand National Steeplechase at Flemington. He served on the Committee for ten years, valued for his plain speaking, his insights into government, and his love of racing. As a young man in Victoria’s Western District before entering politics, Henry Bolte had acted as Secretary of the Skipton Turf Club 1929–33, organising its occasional race meetings.
