[Victoria Government Gazette No. G42 25 October 1989 p. 2741] Statement of Significance: St Albans Homestead at Whittington, a single storey 30-roomed brick mansion, was erected in 1873 for the noted race horse breeder and trainer James Wilson. The Melbourne architect James T Conlan designed the extensive homestead in the fashionable polychromatic mode with an elaborate cast iron verandah by Geelong foundry men Humble & Co. There were additions to the homestead in 1875 designed by Conlan and, in 1878, alterations and additions designed by Conlan and Salway. The homestead was identified as a significant building in the Geelong Regional Commission Study and has been recorded by the National Trust. The integrity of the property is high. St Albans has both historical and architectural significance for the following reasons: 1 (1) it is a most distinctive work of the architect JT Conlan. (2) it is of significance as one of the leading horse racing studs in Australia in the late 19th century. (3) many Melbourne cup runners were trained on the St Albans track. The legendary Phar Lap stayed briefly at St Albans stud in 1930 on the eve of his celebrated Melbourne Cup victory.

Aboriginal Stars of the Pigskin
Aboriginal stars of the pigskin John Maynard I wrote this article in early 1996 during my term as the Aboriginal History Stanner Fel low, Australian National University. I wanted to impress that although much had been written about the participation of Aboriginal sportsmen and women, particularly in boxing, football and athletics, there had been little researched or written regarding their involvement with horse-racing. This article is the result of research during that period. Sadly the depth of my research was restricted by the limit of my stay of only four months and that I was also researching the awakening Aboriginal political movement of the 1920s. In mid 1998 I received a grant from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies to enable me to encompass a far more exhaustive study on the aspect of Aboriginal involvement with the 'Sport of Kings'. My present project has allowed me the financial time and freedom to explore all of the avenues of research I could not encompass during my time as the Stanner Fellow. The project, as with the original article, was conceived with the idea of publishing another important missing chapter of Australian Aboriginal history: detailing the instance of Aborigines' horsemanship since colonisation before exploring their subse quent introduction to horseracing. An important aspect of this present study will be the dispelling of long held myths and misconception that there has only been minimal Abo riginal involvement with horseracing. Many journalists, sports writers, historians and academics have in the past failed to observe significant and continued Aboriginal asso ciation with horseracing.
