Thanks very much guys, much appreciated.
I know that Carl O'Dwyer was a part owner with Tom Taylor and driver of a good trotter named Fiery Luck but did he have any connection with a Hunter Cup winner ?

Hanna's Boy, Hunter Cup of 1979

Not to mention timber sulky shafts. Len Towers and Les Hildebrandt both met grizzly ends. Neil Cavallaro's top filly Rosewood Dream copped a broken shaft through the neck at Bendigo one night.

A much safer sport now. Some might say blander, I say less gladatorial.

But as you would appreciate 'Showgrounds' - we miss the colosseums for the atmosphere they created

Carl trained Hanna's Boy, one of the more obscure Hunter Cup winners. 1979 from memory.

Hi Bob,


The starter was George Rowse my grandfather. He was also a Foundation Member of the Ballarat Club before going to work for the Trotting Control Board (Now HRV).

G'day Paul,

Welcome to the forum, btw do you have any thoughts on sprint lanes and Inter Dom heats?

Thanks Wayne, I think the Inter is bigger than any one Club and consistency throughout the series would be paramount in the Event organisers thinking.

Hi Paul
When does the Ballarat sprint lane go in?
Or is it the other way around, and the Melton and Cranbourne sprint lanes come out ?

With the redevelopment of The Showgrounds being in the news this month - given $1.5m to develop a Master Plan

I don't suppose there is any chance of a trotting track

After all the 2017 Back to Wayville meet attracted more people than Melton's ID18 despite their smaller population

Could fit one next door......

It’s crown land, can we stake a claim.....
