Hi All, I recall a Harness Driver K Rawiller, and I also recall a jumps jockey named K Rawiller can someone tell me if this is the same person, also if it is the same person did this person win a Metropolitan Race as a Jockey and Reinsman.
Cheers Bob
Same person
One and the same, he had a trotter called Torpedo Kid then followed up with its half-brother, a high class trotter in El Cordobies. He kept El Cordobies as a colt, rare to see in a local trotter in the era. He threw some handy winners from limited opportunities.
I remember El Cordobies at the Showgrounds - a memorable name. He won 5 races at the Showgrounds and 1 at Moonee Valley. I checked one of the wins for you Bob and KR was on him (I would say he probably drove him for them all). El won a NSW and SA Derby with K Rawiller in the sulky
Thanks for reviving the memories Bob
I also remember him as a jumps jockey

His sister Val is married to Bendigo trainer Alan Browell. Their late son Colin was a very good jockey.
It's no surprise that the family excel at all things equine... Keith, Stuart and Val's mother was a Rothacker.
I'm sure that Keith's mother was a daughter of Charlie Rothacker, brother of Vic (father or Des, Eric and Stuart) and Bill Rothacker ( father of Gordon and Albert)
Fellas thanks for that info on K Rawiller, his name was brought to my mind being a jockey turned Trotting driver following a "little whisper" I got about an All Time Great jockey going to sit his backside in a gig.
It may be a bit premature to name this person at the minute, but he is a history making hoop around Cup time, leave it with you. Time will tell. as I said it only "whisper".
Regards
Bob
It wasn't the jockey mentioned here was it Bob?
