King Offa Aims for Melbourne Cup Glory Trainer Bradfield Key Figure
R Bradfield trains King Offa for Messrs Clark and Robinson and has been a highly successful trainer, winning major turf races. Patton's 1894 Melbourne Cup near miss echoes Bradfield's past anxieties, yet King Offa still won easily ahead of Devon with Nada third. Bullock, a first class jockey from North Melbourne, rode the winner and later compiled an international career including Germany where he led the winning list for five years.
