The son of migrant parents, Enver Jusufovic grew up in Footscray, worked for Four’N Twenty, and ran onto the ground in 1970 when Ted Whitten played his final game for the Dogs. Now he has a Cox Plate runner.

While many of Saturday’s Cox Plate contenders were dining out at the Valley’s Breakfast with the Best on Tuesday, small-time Cranbourne trainer Enver Jusufovic was measuring feed for his boutique stable of horses.

“That’s where I came from, and I enjoy just taking it all in and having a look at the crowd and seeing what it means to them.”The son of migrant parents from Bosnia and Slovenia, Jusufovic grew up in Footscray, taking on St Kilda as his favourite football team aged five after they won the 1966 VFL premiership, and idolising champion jockey Roy Higgins.

“I got a job as a driver at Four ‘N’ Twenty pies, and was there for about four years. But they were really good to me, the people were great, and I believed in the product. Last night I had a Four ‘N’ Twenty pie, I enjoy it.” “He had a property at Tooradin, so I did, and I got hooked. I started learning to ride horses at a riding school, and then I left my job and got my first job with Greg Eurell, who at the time had one horse in work and was predominantly a breaker and pre-trainer.”, and even when Pinstriped guaranteed his spot in the race by winning the exempt Feehan Stakes, EJ wasn’t sure he was going to take his place.
