BiographyMcGrowdie was born at Breakfast Creek in Brisbane, Queensland. His father, Charles Christopher McGrowdie, was a jockey-turned-racehorse trainer. He finished schooling at St Mary's Christian Brothers' College, Toowoomba.[2] McGrowdie won the Doomben Cup (1943), Brisbane Cup (1947 and 1950) and Stradbroke Handicap (1952) in Brisbane. After moving to Sydney in 1943, he won the Epsom Handicap (1943), Metropolitan (1944, 1945 and 1957), Sydney Cup (1951, 1952 and 1958) and Doncaster Handicap (1955 and 1958). In Melbourne, he won the Oakleigh Plate (1948, 1954 and 1956), Newmarket Handicap (1954) and most notably the Melbourne Cub (1957).[3][2] In 1960, McGrowdie left Australia on a riding contract in Malaysia. That same year, he won the Singapore Gold Cup.[3] McGrowdie died in a road accident on 9 September 1961 in Parit Buntar, Perak, Malaysia.[3] He was 40. He was survived by his wife, son and daughter and was buried in Randwick Cemetery, Sydney.[2][4] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.queenslandhistoryofracing.com.au/people/noel-digger-mcgrowdie/|title=Noel "Digger" McGrowdie|publisher=Queensland History of Racing|accessdate=17 February 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:McGrowdie, Noel}}{{Australia-horseracing-bio-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/mcgrowdie-noel-leonard-10963|title=McGrowdie, Noel Leonard (1920–1961)|work=Australian Dictionary of Biography|accessdate=17 February 2017|first=W.|last=Boyan}} 3. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://rv.racing.com/careers-and-education/australian-racing-museum/hall-of-fame/jockeys/noel-mcgrowdie|title=Noel McGrowdie|publisher=Racing Victoria|accessdate=17 February 2017}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://billiongraves.com/grave/Noel-Leonard-MCGROWDIE/5247196|title=Grave Site of Noel Leonard McGrowdie (-1961)|work=BillionGraves|accessdate=17 February 2017}} 5 : 1920 births|1961 deaths|Australian jockeys|Jockeys from Brisbane|Road incident deaths in Malaysia |
