Old Time Racing at Brettl Circuit in 1908

A nostalgic report recalls a Brettl racecourse built by grazier W Breese around 1908. Five events offered £50 in prizes with riders and horses from Wingham Giro Gloucester Newcastle and Burrell Creek. Trainers Mr Forrett and riders Mr Ferrett and others enjoyed repeated wins over long distances, traveling up to 210 miles in a fortnight. The piece ends noting the odd practice of leading a horse a few miles to a distant event.
