Ajax was a super Australian thoroughbred horse by the great Heroic out of Medmenham at Widden Stud in 1934. He is best remembered for winning 18 races in a row, and then for that fiasco in the 1939 Rawson Stakes, when at 40/1 on in a three horse race, he went down to Spear Chief. He won the Memsies Stakes three times and the 1938 Cox plate.
His record was 46 starts for 36 wins, 7 seconds and 2 thirds for prize money of 40,250 pounds. All this justified his inclusion in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame.
Sent to USA in 1948.
