A Century Galloped By is the story of the Victoria Racing Club's first hundred years - 1864-1964. It it essentially the story of the Club itself.

It tells how it was formed; how it transformed a cluster of rough, uneven paddocks, overrun with all sorts of wild growth, into one of the most beautiful racecourses in the world, and how it became the principal club in Victoria - responsible for the conduct of thoroughbred racing throughout the state.
