Bob set for an Inter Dom debut 82 years in the making

Bob Kuchenmeister is preparing for his first drive in harness racing’s most prestigious event, the Inter Dominion, at the ripe old age of 82.

The Inverleigh-based octogenarian will take the reins behind his mare Leanne Leeann in the second heat of the SENTrack Inter Dominion Trotting Championship at Ballarat on Saturday night.

Kuchenmeister admits he hadn’t harbored ambitions of taking part in the series right up until this week.
