GALLOPING into Shepparton Villages Maculata Place last week was Gail Smith, one of the owners of the 2025 Melbourne Cup-winning horse, Half Yours.
Residents and staff were delighted to see the much-coveted Melbourne Cup when Gail visited her parents, Henry and Maureen Garthwaite, who are residents of the village.
Half Yours was the only Australian-bred horse to run in the Melbourne Cup this year, bringing particular pride to the owners and other family members. Maculata staff and fellow residents were happy to spread the winning joy a little further this week, which was filled with Spring Racing Carnival-inspired activities.
