Harness Racing Victoria was saddened to learn of the passing of William “Bill” Davin, an owner, trainer and driver from Ascot Vale.
Mr Davin’s son, Robert, said his father mainly raced at Ascot Vale and Moonee Valley but was more widely known for providing accommodation to interstate horses including Our Sir Vancelot, Westburn Grant, Robin Dundee, Minuteman, Halwes and Gundary Flyer.
At his property he stabled at least six Hunter Cup winners in a row at his property in the 1960s.
A funeral service will be held in his honour in the Joseph Allison Chapel, 941 Mt Alexander Rd, Essendon, on Monday, July 31, from 10am. At its conclusion the cortege will proceed to Fawkner Cemetery for a burial at noon.
