PILA’s Flag Pole Stands Proud at Gai Waterhouse Racing’s Flemington Stables

Flemington is aflutter as we race towards “the race that stops the nation”, and at Gai Waterhouse Racing’s stables at Flemington the flag is aflutter atop a PILA flag pole.

While Gai may not have a horse racing at this year’s Melbourne Cup, 2013’s winning trainer is already onsite for the Spring Carnival, based out of her stables at Flemington Racecourse. And there at the entrance to her stables is an elegant 7.5m PILA flag pole. After facing the disappointment of not being allowed to install it in time for last year’s triumphant Melbourne Cup, the flag pole has since been erected at the premier stables.

The 7.5m flag pole is the perfect size for the grand Flemington stables and is the size recommended for 2-storey buildings. Anything shorter would have been dwarfed by the stables, while bigger may have towered over.

The heritage listed racecourse offers extensive stables and is the centre for horse training for many famous trainers who maintain stables at the course, with hundreds of horses in residence at Flemington, the oldest racecourse in Australia. Gai Waterhouse Racing is primarily based at Tulloch Lodge at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, but as a leading trainer Gai also has boxes at Flemington in Melbourne.

PILA wishes Gai every success with this year’s Spring Carnival and we also hope to see her enjoy future Melbourne Cup success.
