Miss Andretti, a sprinting sensation, left an indelible mark on the racing world. The 2007 Lightning Stakes at Moonee Valley witnessed her speed, echoed by victories in the 2007 Newmarket Handicap at Caulfield and the 2007 Age Classic, now known as Champions Sprint.
Though primarily known as a Sydney horse, Emancipation amazed Flemington in 1982 when she won the VRC Carbine Club Stakes and the Edward Manifold Stakes.
The newly introduced Australian Spirit of Racing award will be awarded to WA’s Rod Kemp. Kemp’s dedication to racing, both as a jockey and mentor, is exemplified by an impressive riding legacy of 11 Group 1 victories and multiple majors.
These names set to be immortalised in the 2023 Australian Racing Hall of Fame serve as a tribute to the enduring spirit of excellence that defines the world of Australian horse racing.

About the Australian Racing Hall of Fame (ARHOF)
The Australian Racing Hall of Fame (ARHOF) was established in 2001 to celebrate the achievements of the horses, jockeys, trainers and administrators who, through their dedication and contribution to thoroughbred racing, have become heroes of the turf.
Induction into the ARHOF is racing’s ultimate achievement and is an opportunity to formally recognise and honour the horses and people who have made such indelible marks in racing.
There are four categories within the Hall of Fame – Horses, Trainers, Jockeys and Associates.
Racing Australia’s ARHOF Selection Panel comprises representatives of the Australian thoroughbred racing industry who are highly respected individuals by their peers. Their inclusion on the Panel draws on their unique knowledge of racing.
The interim Chair, Mr Paul Eriksson who is also the Chief Executive of Racing Australia is responsible for overseeing the voting and integrity process.
