It's an often-used line, a little cliched and tired perhaps - "one for the ages" - but when the trainer is 82 and the owners are in their 90s - then Saturday's Group 1 Railway Stakes truly is "one for the ages".

Watching them run, walk, parade or simply stand is one of life's pleasures - and educations. Winston Churchill once said, "There is something about the outside…

The spacious Flemington racecourse is a mere postage stamp compared to the place trainer Phillip Stokes spent his childhood.
