Lord Mayor's Cup 1989[edit]

Dear Wikipedia

Re Lord Mayor's Cup Doomben Brisbane Queensland in 1989. The race was won by horse CAV LON on 4th November 1989., not Bravery as shown in Wikipedia. Bravery won the Carnival Handicap earlier in the year (May). As shown in Wikipedia the race listed in Wikipedia had several name changes over the years. CAV LON was owned by Ken and Melva Cavanough and it is disappointing for them to read no reference to CAV LON winning the Lord Mayor's in 1989. Brisbane Lord Mayor Sally Anne Atkinson presented the cup to the winning connections (race sponsored by Commonwealth Industrial Gases (CIG)). We have newspaper and photo evidence. The Doomben race results were published in the Brisbane Sunday Mail on 5th November 1989. Australian Bloodhound Information Services does list CAV LON's race records correctly.

Ken Cavanough recently celebrated his 90th birthday. Ken and Melva Cavanough also celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary in 2014. CAV LON after 100 starts became a household pet and only died a couple of years ago almost 30 years of age.
