He is owned by Mr O. Osborne and trained at Midhurst by E. J. Laird. Unworthy has only had one previous win, scoring at the Wairarapa meeting of 1935.

As far as can be ascertained the ten tickets were held by the owner, his son, the trainer, a butter factory worker from Pihama, and a Hawera bakery van driver,
