The Legend Raced at Seymour and Tongala....Two Ghost Tracks
Thanks to John Peck who emailed me a list of races that Robert and Alexander Hunter ( of Hunter House Bendigo, Burnewang Park at Hunter, Hunter Cup, and Northwood Park fame) won..
Recently upgraded to Legend Status, Globe Derby raced at Seymour and Tongala...and didn't win !
Altough coming off 240 behind is a bit of an ask.
