Mr Lorigan trained during the golden era of Trent-
ham and his numerous winners included the 1930 Wellington Cup winner, Concentrate, and the 1931 C.J.C. Stewards winner, Cimab’ue, and The Monarch. Mr Lorigan was also associated with the fine galloper, Beaulivre, which numbered among his wins a Caulfield Cup and a Stewards’.
