He set the foundations for the future fame of Flemington, the Melbourne Cup and the VRC. A practical, down-to-earth surveyor and engineer, in 1861 he oversaw the creation of a landscaped playing oval at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Similarly, he transformed the basic racing surfaces at Flemington, upgraded public facilities, masterminded construction of the first bluestone grandstand, and accommodated ever increasing crowds. Bagot was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2004.
