Racing Record
Racing as a two-year-old The Trump won the VATC Stakes and was placed in three other starts during the season.
As a three-year-old he won the Stand Handicap and ran third in the Caulfield Guineas, after which he was made the favourite for the Caulfield Cup. It was not intended that The Trump should start in the cup and owing to knee problems he had his knees pin-fired and was gelded before being spelled.
Returning as a four-year-old he won the Derrimut Handicap over six furlongs at Moonee Valley. In early 1937 The Trump won the Malakoff Stakes over nine furlongs at Caulfield before having a brief letup. His next win was the (G1) Toorak Handicap on the first day of the Caulfield Cup meeting. After then winning the Caulfield Cup and LKS Mackinnon Stakes he was aimed at the rare Melbourne Cup double. His win in the Melbourne Cup win was The Trump’s sixth successive win.
See Caulfield Cup Race history for a complete list of winners of the Caulfield-Melbourne Cup double.
After The Trump was retired from racing he was used to carry Mr Eccles' nieces and nephews to school.

Famous quotes containing the words racing and/or record:
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Bob freed your mind the way Elvis freed your body. He showed us that just because music was innately physical did not mean that it was anti-intellectual. He had the vision and the talent to make a pop record that contained the whole world.”
—Bruce Springsteen (b. 1949)
