| Death | 10 October 1924 Death of Mr. T. F. Scully ONE of the most respected and best liked of the Randwick trainers, Tom Scully, passed away on Friday after a brief illness. Scully came from the Cassillis district, and in his young days was a great athlete. He got his first experience as a trainer with a few picnic horses that he used to prepare for the western squatters. As he made a success of his business, the McMasters and Mr. Fagan and a few others agreed to give him horses if he would so to Sydney and start training there. Soon after he came down he scored his first success, and as he was a man of incorruptible character, he soon had his stables full. Among other winners prepared by him were Marvel Loch and Noreen, but his biggest success was with Mr. T. A. Stirton's great horse Cetigne, and he also trained Maltine for Mr. J. S. Brunton, and a big list of horses for Sir Samuel Hordern. In his training methods he was one of the old school, strict with his apprentices, and he believed in standing his horses up to their work. He used to say that he did not believe in having his horses so fresh as to be unmanageable, and given a horse with the requisite strength of constitution, he could turn him out very fit. A shrewd business man apart from his training he acquired a good deal of property, and he was a model husband and father. He has passed away with the respect of all who knew him and his son, Jack Scully, who is carrying on his father's business, has a good example to follow. Truth, Sunday 12 October 1924, p. 3. Thomas Scully Obituary NEWS AND NOTES THE LATE MR. T. J. SCULLY At the funeral of the late Tom Scully at Randwick Cemetery on Saturday after the races, the large attendance of sportsmen was proof of the popularity of the deceased trainer. Among those present were: Messrs. Colin Stephen (chairman), T. A. Stirton and R. C. Allen (representing the A. J. C. staff) Jack Toohey, E. Bartle, Wm. Booth, Frank Marsden, Fred Williams, Dan. Lewis, Joe. Burton, E. Green, and Dudley Allsop. The chief mourners were Jack and Dan Scully, sons of the deceased. The Rev. Father Flemming, of the Church of the Sacred Heart, Randwick, officiated at the grave. Tom Scully had many good horses through his hands, notably Cetigne, one of Australia's greatest stake-winners; Marvel Loch, winner of the Metropolitan; Noreen, winner of the Sydney Cup; Lochano, winner of the Doncaster; Bundella, winner of the Breeder's Plate; and Maltine, winner of the Metropolitan. He was a keen and conscientious trainer, and while being a stickler for the interests of his clients, still made many friends on the Turf. Cowra Free Press, Friday 17 October 1924, p. 6. Thomas Scully Obituary MERRIWA. The late Mr. Tom Scully, the noted trainer, who died recently at Randwick, was a well known figure in this district from his youth up. He was a general favourite and a great helper in deserving cases. Feeling reference to his death was made in the Church of England, the minister stating that wherever he went all spoke in the highest possible praise of Thomas Scully.
