Dr Turf (John Rothfeild)

As a young boy one of John’s earliest memories of racing was Gwen the SP bookie arriving at his home to collect small debts from his mother in the 1960’s. After spending most of his Saturdays with his father at various race tracks around Victoria, by the time John turned 16, he was already betting bigger than his dad.

Better known nowadays as “Dr Turf” or the “Doc”, he can be heard giving his expert opinion on most sporting events across a number of different networks.
