Description:
Victorian Amateur Turf Club (VATC) 1881 Membership badge, engraved on reverse for 'W. Watts'. Only five years earlier, Ballarat's Dowling Forest Racecourse was the location for the first VATC race meeting on Friday, March 24th 1876 - a programme that featured six events, five of which were over obstacles. The VATC held its first meeting at Caulfield on August 5th, 1876, with the card closely resembling the inaugural fixture at Ballarat and by 1879 had introduced the Caulfield Cup into its Autumn schedule.
