Horses for courses is an installation of miniature 'horse and jockey' rings portraying the finish of the 2010 Melbourne Cup. The traditional The Emirates Melbourne Cup is an 18 carat gold trophy, and one of the most identifiable sporting trophies anywhere in the world.

It is a national icon embedded in Australia's cultural fabric. Horses for courses is a celebration of sorts: hand-crafted like the cup itself, not for the winner of the race or in celebration of the sport itself, but with reflections on the traditions of craft and the context of the gallery space in mind.

Sim respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which I create and exhibit art. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Melbourne community and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded. I acknowledge that I work and live on the country on which Members and Elders of The Wurundjeri people and their forebears have been custodians for many centuries and on which Aboriginal People have performed age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal. I acknowledge their living culture and unique role in this region's life.
