Death of a racetrack: The rise and fall of Dunedin's Forbury Park
Lex Williams recalls a first date with his future wife at Dunedin's Forbury Park.
“That was 53 years ago, and I remember saying to her on the way home that we were going to buy one of these horses one day.”
The couple, who married in 1970, ended up buying their first horse in 2002, then another a year later.
That horse would become champion trotting mare One Over Kenny, who won nearly $1.1 million from her 32 wins.
The memories of the horses and his late wife, Heather, loomed large for Williams at the 110-year-old track’s farewell meeting on Thursday night.
