Griffith Cup Won by J McG Williams Century Tire 1924 and 1925 (Photo courtesy of Bindy from Vulture 1970's)

(Note: After Tortoise II broke down in the February 1925 race, Mac, being a good sport, accepted a challenge for a second race later in the year which Tortoise II won. That is why there are winners plates for 1925.)
