James Bartholomew Cummings was born and raised in Adelaide and worked for his father at his stables after completing high school. Bart first experienced the thrill of a Melbourne Cup win at 23 years of age when he strapped the home-bred Comic Court for his father Jim Cummings in 1950. Born in New South Wales Tommy Smith was destined to be in racing. He yearned to be a famous jockey and as a child won many races for his father at the picnic races. Tommy left home at age thirteen, trying to become a jockey in Melbourne and then Sydney
