Australia's greatest trainer of Melbourne Cup winners is Bart Cummings, who has trained 11 cup winners over a 37-year period. Both the names "Pharlap" and "Bart Cummings" are deeply embedded within Australian culture and history and along with cricketing great Don Bradman are arguably among the three best known names to both older and younger Australians.
