Dato Tan Chin Nam dies aged 92
Four-time Melbourne Cup winning owner, Malaysian businessman and philanthropist Dato Tan Chin Nam has died aged 92.
His Melbourne Cup winners - Think Big (twice), Saintly and Viewed - were all trained by his long-time friend, the late Bart Cummings, who also prepared his dual Cox Plate winner So You Think.
The pair raced horses together for more than 30 years.
Dato Tan's investment in Australian racing includes his Think Big Stud in the NSW Southern Highlands.
The group 2 Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes at Moonee Valley, run in September as a lead-up race for the Cox Plate, is named in his honour.
