Huntly, 10 kilometres to the north of Bendigo, once a small township, but now part of the urban reaches of Bendigo, was home to two important pioneering trotting stud farms that operated in the early 1900s.
From these two farms, situated just over two kilometres apart on the fertile flats beside the Bendigo Creek, came the ancestors of Australasian winners of Inter Dominions, Miracle Miles, New Zealand Trotting Cups, Hunter Cups, trotting and pacing Oaks and Derbies and countless country cups.
In a future piece we will feature the Belmont Stud, but today we examine the Adelaide Hill Stud.
