There were emotional scenes at Geelong Harness Racing Club on Wednesday night as veteran trainer-driver Bob Kuchenmeister won a race struck in honour of his late great mate.
Kuchenmeister prepared squaregaiting mare Leanne Leeann to claim her sixth career success with a tough front-running display in the Jack Powles Memorial Trotters Handicap (2570m).
Friends and family of Powles, a passionate harness racing man and successful breeder, were on track to witness the result, which was made even more special by the fact he bred the five-year-old before his passing.
