Vale Brian Kiesey

Rockbank-based trainer Brian Kiesey, who was born on Christmas Day 1960, sadly passed away on Sunday, November 17 aged 64.

Kiesey loved nothing more than being around his horses, spending many hours each day with them and giving them undivided attention.

He was part of harness racing since working for Kilmore trainer Bob Knight before venturing out on his own.

During his time in Kilmore, Kiesey was involved in a car dealership business at one stage, but it was the horses that always drew his attention.
