THE RACING VAULT
THE RACING VAULT
Few people have witnessed more racing history than John Tapp. Across decades behind the microphone, he called the greats home and saw the sport’s most iconic moments unfold. The Racing Vault is his personal archive, a place where John shares the stories, horses, and heroes that shaped Australian racing.

Larry Olsen sent me this photo recently, especially for our Friday Flashback segment.
It was snapped on Golden Slipper day 1989, the year after Larry had won the big race on Star Watch.
