"During my career I have ventured to the west on many occasions and have been fortunate to have found success particularly in the 1970's with the Derby winners "Dayana" (who also won a Perth Cup) ,"Leica Lover" and "Asgard" to name a few. During my visits to Western Australia I have always found the people friendly and the hospitality second to none. To recognise and introduce the Racing Hall of Fame in Western Australia is a justification to the status of the Racing Industry in the west. I wish it every success and urge the people of Western Australia to fully support this wonderful initiative."

- J Bart Cummings AM, Champion Trainer, 12 time Melbourne Cup Winning Trainer

"Racing across all three codes has a rich heritage in WA and the Kersley family is proud to have been involved in the industry for four generations. The West Australian Racing Industry Hall Of Fame is an exciting initiative for this state and one the racing fraternity will certainly embrace."

- Fred Kersley, champion Thoroughbred trainer and Harness trainer/driver

"As a racing enthusiast, administrator and owner of horses for many years, I'm delighted that WA Racing will be acknowledged and celebrated via The West Australian Racing Industry Hall Of Fame. This is an event that corporate WA should support and the sporting public is following with great interest."
