1927

Woodcock won several races, and worked as a jockey until 1927, when he was 22 years old.

However, his size and weight increased, and he gave up jockeying in favour of being a groom and exercise rider.

It was in this way that he met trainer Harry Telford and his horse Phar Lap, widely regarded as the greatest Australian racehorse of all time.

1929

In 1929, Telford employed Woodcock as Phar Lap's strapper.

From then on, Tommy and Phar Lap were virtually inseparable.

Before big races, Woodcock would sleep outside Phar Lap's stable, and it was said that Phar Lap refused food from anyone but Woodcock.

Phar Lap was shipped to America, and Woodcock was employed as his trainer while he was in America.

Woodcock trained Phar Lap and he won the rich Agua Caliente Handicap.

1931

On 21 January 1931, Tommy Woodcock married Emma Jane Bone at St Stephen’s Presbyterian Church in Sydney.

1932

Shortly afterwards, on 5 April 1932, Phar Lap suddenly died in Menlo Park, California.

Always devoted to the horse, Woodcock was with Phar Lap in his final moments.

1946

In 1946, Woodcock was initiated into Freemasonry, within the Smithfield Lodge.

Other famous names in that Lodge were Billy Guyatt and William Angliss.

1977

1978

Louise and Tegan, along with Margaret Benson who wrote Tommy Woodcock: The Story of Australia's Most Remarkable Trainer in 1978, collected $465 to pay for Woodcock's ashes to remain in perpetuity in his original resting place.
