Passed away in Melbourne on 21 December 2006
at the Monash Medical Centre.

Aged 92 years

Winner of the Caulfield Cup five times (1942-1945, 1952)
and thousands of races in both Australia and England.

Our thoughts are with the Breasley family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I met Mr Breasley and Loretta at the Fred Hoysted Dinner in 2000. I was introduced by my fellow New Zealanders Gary & Raewyn Willetts. They knew that I had great admiration for Mr Breasley as I had lived in England for 26 years and followed racing there. Mr Breasley was very charming and when I said that I had lived in Lincolnshire, reminised about wonderful Lincolnshire sausages !! Racing has lost a true icon and will be always remember as one of the greats both in Australian and British racing.

My heartfelt condolences to Loretta, but I am sure he is safe in God's care now.

To the Breasley Family:

We extend to you our great sympathy in the loss of such a great and noble man as Scobie.

He was in every way a national treasure for Australia.

I got to know him slightly when he came to New York in 1977 with Hunza Dancer because I was at that time the racing columnist for the New York Post.

But I knew and idolised him long before that, as a kid growing up in the bush in South Australia when he was running up all those records in Melbourne in the 1940s.

There was nobody like Scobie Breasley, one of a kind, and I am so saddened at his passing.

Yours sincerely,
