		Bernborough was still not allowed to race on city tracks so Mr Hadwen sent him to Sydney trainer Harry Plant to prepare the horse for sale.
		Bernborough easily won his next start the AJC Villiers Stakes and all following 14 races, including the VATC Futurity Stakes, the Newmarket Handicap with 9st 13lb, the Rawson Stakes, the Chipping Norton Stakes and the All Aged Stakes.
		Bernborough had a troublesome run in the Caulfield Cup carrying 10st 10lb where he still finished a close fifth.

		Bernborough’s winning streak had come to end at his previous start in the Caulfield Cup, starting favourite at 7-4 under the huge weight of 68kg, but finishing fifth.
		Bernborough, a 4-1 on favourite, was virtually “trotting” approaching the home bend, when he suddenly faltered badly and Briscoe quickly pulled him up.
		Bernborough never raced in a handicap event again but those two Doomben wins, plus the Newmarket performance, under such big weights, is sufficient proof to nominate him as a super horse—as is Makybe Diva.

		Bernborough, however, was bred by a chap called Harry Winton and was sold to Frank and John Bach for 150 guineas (just over A$300) who “on sold” the horse to an A. Hadwen as the Q.T.C. (Eagle Farm) wouldn’t accept nominations from the Bach’s.
		Bernborough, therefore, was restricted to racing in Toowoomba from ages 2 to 6 inclusive, where he won 11 of his 19 starts, but had earned only a paltry 1000 pounds (A$2000 in prizemoney).
		Bernborough was sent to America to stand at stud, at renowned Spendthrift Farm in the blue grass country of Kentucky where he died in 1960.

		Anyway Arthur Browning had backed his horse, got it in for a stack but Bernborough was all the rage and he was well back and Mulley pulled him to the centre of the track and whoosh, down he went.
		Bernborough's salvation came when he was sold to the Sydney nightclub and sly-grog entrepreneur, Azzalin Romano.
		Bernborough was put in plaster and later sold to the stud of Hollywood mogul, Louis B. Mayer, for nearly 330,000 pounds.

	BERNBOROUGH (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It's almost 60 years since the Toowomba Tornado has raced, but the undisputed opinion held by many old timers of the turf, is that this tall, handsome bay stallion was the best horse ever to be produced in Queensland.
		With huge weights to carry, Mulley in the the stool and that chilling catch-cry of "here's Bernborough from the clouds", his sequence of 15 wins in top company must have been a thorn in the side of many a Bookmaker in the days when huge crowds flocked to see the races.
		So as time rolls on and champions come and go, we'll stand by our history and look back to Bernborough, the Sunshine States immortal hero, the one who's stood the test of time, as one of the best ever, without a doubt.

	Walkabout - Oakey
		The town's moment of glory came with the birth of the brilliant horse Bernborough at Rosalie Plains in 1939.
		For the first four years of his life Bernborough was restricted to racing in the local area (because of a ban the Queensland Turf Club had placed on his owners) and he became something of a legend on the tracks around Toowoomba.
		Oakey is now the home of the $13 million Australian Army Aviation Centre and it seemed appropriate that a museum should be established to record the history of army flying as well as the history of flight and the early history of the RAAF.

		On a day when most jockeys were skirting wide in the straight in the rain-affected going, Bowditch hugged the fence after Deuxieme ($9) missed the start then cut the corner on the home turn and dashed the seven-year-old clear with what turned out to be a winning break.
		The win in today's $200,000 event was only Deuxieme's second since he took out last year's Bernborough Hcp from Consular and Chinbok and took his overall record to 12 wins and 16 placings from 58 starts for prizemoney bordering on $700,000.
		Both Cups have had their prizemoney increased from $200,000 to $500,000 after the Tasmanian racing industry was guaranteed a minimum $5 million in revenue from the introduction of betting exchange Betfair.

		Asked to ‘carry the grandstand’ in many of his races, and in a career that did not really become serious until he was six, Bernborough paid the price and never raced again.

		Bernborough's unbeaten run came to a controversial end when he ran a luckless fifth carrying 68 kgs in the Caulfield Cup.

		Mulley had to live with the stigma of being dead on Bernborough, heightened by the fact that trainer Harry Plant reportedly never spoke to him again.

		Altiero has 63.5kg in a moderate event, but in the 1946 Doomben Cup, the mighty Bernborough made light of 68.5kg against Group1 middle-distance horses of the era.
		Also, whereas the Randwick race has a 53kg limit, Bernborough's was closer to 47kg.
		Of course, Bernborough was a champion, whereas Altiero, at this stage, gets a "handy type" rating but is against rivals of suspect calibre.

		There is no doubt that through the history of the thoroughbred a number of horses in both hemispheres have been wrongly identified in one way or another.
		For instance some veteran experts in Queensland contend that one of Australia’s greatest racehorses Bernborough was not by the sire he was supposed to be, Emborough (GB).
		If this is correct all pedigrees that carry the name of Bernborough, a good sire in America, are wrong.
