V.A.T.C. (Victoria Amateur Turf Club): 1898-99 and 1916-17 Members Tickets in red and green leather respectively, both with gold embossed details. (2 items). The VATC held its first meeting at Caulfield on August 5th, 1876. The Club soon phased out the programming of amateur events and by 1879 had introduced the Caulfield Cup into its autumn schedule. In 1881, the Club introduced the Caulfield Guineas for three-year-olds and the Toorak Handicap, a mile race for open age horses. Even more significantly, the Caulfield Cup was switched to the Spring. This programming masterstroke created the exalted Cups double that underpins Melbourne's Spring Racing Carnival - the Caulfield Cup followed by the Victoria Racing Club's famous Melbourne Cup at Flemington.
