WHAT DOES VAN DER HUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Van der Hum

Van der Hum

Van der Hum was a New Zealand Thoroughbred racehorse, who won the 1976 Melbourne Cup when ridden by Bob Skelton. He was sired by the versatile stayer and sire of the winners of over $2m, Hermes, his dam Tip O'Dawn was by the good sire Count Rendered. Van Der Hum was a wet track specialist, and on cup day there was a very heavy downpour on the course. The favourite was the Bart Cummings trained local Gold and Black, who came in second. Len Robinson had spent two nights prior to the 1976 Melbourne Cup in his car, armed with a shotgun, outside Van Der Hum’s stall. The race was won next year by the Cups King, Bart Cummings, with Gold and Black. Van der Hum was euthanized on 27 July 2001, four days short of his 30th birthday.
