Positives only eh? Okay, will try!
I reckon this deserves some publicity.
Well known Melbourne trots historian/journalist John Peck has put the finishing touches to a treasure trove of stats and information which will be made public soon on the HRV website.
He has researched the top five trainers, and their number of wins for each metropolitan season since 1931/1932.
The same has been done for the leading metro driver. Incredibly records for this go back to 1859/1860 when the first metropolitan meeting in Australia was conducted at Flemington Racecourse.
John is also researching results of all Victorian trotting races that have not previously been published in the several different year books that have been printed over the years (since replaced by the harness website) - a massive undertaking.
For the record, Gordon Rothacker with nine trainers titles and 14 drivers premierships heads both lists.
