Newspaper legend Bart Sinclair inducted into Racing Queensland Hall of Fame
FORMER racing editor of The Courier-Mail Bart Sinclair is one of five inductees into the Racing Queensland Hall of Fame.
Sinclair, who worked at the newspaper from 1988-2012 and is now racing manager for the Brisbane Racing Club, was honoured at the Queensland Thoroughbred Awards in Brisbane on Sunday night.
Other Hall of Fame inductees included a champion racehorse from the early 1900s, Molly’s Robe, jockey Fred Shean, trainer Con Doyle and associate Ceb Barnes.
RQ said Sinclair, who also analysed racing on radio and television broadcasts for many years and was racing editor of The Daily Sun newspaper from 1982-88, was “one of Queensland’s greatest ambassadors for racing’’.
In June, Sinclair was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for services to racing.
Sinclair’s father Andrew “Barty” Sinclair, who trained the 1963 Stradbroke winner Mullala, and his mother Joan led him to a life in the racing industry.
In addition to mentoring young journalists, Sinclair has a history for encouraging apprentice jockeys, including Hong Kong gun Zac Purton, and emerging trainers.
Trainer Tony Gollan, jockey Jeff Lloyd and the Liam Birchley-trained Crack Me Up took home the major awards.
Crack Me Up was named thoroughbred of the year.
Jag Guthmann-Chester took out the Ken Russell Queensland apprentice of the year award.
Other winners included Queensland’s provincial and overall premier trainer Ben Currie, provincial premiership jockey Justin Stanley, country trainer Bevan Johnson and country jockey Dan Ballard.
