Cup. Robert Cooper Bagot, rightly in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame, was the first VRC Secretary (now called the CEO) and was crucial in making Flemington Racecourse the special place it is today. As this is my first New Year’s Day message to you as Chairman, I would like to thank all of our Members, and the racing fraternity, for your support and loyalty throughout the exceptionally challenging year in 2020. Through this difficult time there has also been new opportunities emerging and we look forward to building on these and bringing Flemington fully back to life in 2021. I am very optimistic that we will be able to welcome back an increased number of members and other racegoers for our new format Summer Racing Twilight Series and what is shaping up to be a bigger than ever Autumn Festival of Racing. On behalf of the board and the VRC team, I wish everyone all the very best for the New Year and hope it brings health, happiness and security to you and your family and friends. Neil Wilson VRC Chairman
