OFF/ON: Victoria's champion trainer Peter Moody set up stables off-course in Caulfield when he moved from Queensland.
Mapping old Caulfield
words by STEPHEN HOWELL
Jack Clark, 83, trained for 43 years, first in Elizabeth Cres, Carnegie, then just up the road in Lake St, then from Kambrook Rd, near the north-east corner of the Caulfield Racecourse, and finally from on-course stables.
The old house and stables at No. 68 Kambrook Rd are gone. Now there's just rubble and weeds next to a gated entrance to the Melbourne Racing Club's members' car park. The gate has shields with VATC on them-for Victoria Amateur Turf Club, the former name of the club that races at Caulfield.
Clark was one of hundreds who trained off-course at Caulfield, a number that has dwindled to one with Geoff Wheeler, at 15 Manchester Gr on the other side of the track, the last man standing. Peter Moody, Victoria's champion trainer for the past two seasons from his on-course Amalfi Lodge, actually set up in stables in Kambrook Rd when he came to Victoria from Queensland.
