They even raced at Glenorchy...just out of Stawell
Glenorchy is a tiny dot on the Wimmera Highway, just out of Stawell. (Kev territory).
They trotted there.
Was this the track, or was it next door on what is now the golf course?
Queen's Voyage, the 1924 winner of The Glen Trot, was no slouch..winning in Victoria and then Kalgoorlie.
