Bob Kuchenmeister was the toast of the industry on Saturday night after landing a special victory with his mare Leanne Leeann.
The 82-year-old trainer-driver partnered his squaregaiter to a narrow win in the Western Ford Trot – a second success at Victoria’s harness racing headquarters.
Kuchenmeister holds a rare place in history, with driving wins at the state’s premier tracks of The Showgrounds, Moonee Valley and Tabcorp Park at Melton.
“I don’t think there’s very many of us – I think we’re a very small number now and that’s just because of our age,” he said.
“37 I would have been when I won at The Showgrounds.”
