More than 100 people attended a special 75-year celebration of the Dalvui Raceway last Tuesday night.

The Terang Harness Racing Club was formed in 1912, and meetings were conducted at the local racecourse before Dalvui Lane became the new headquarters in 1949.

Basil Brock was one of the many speakers at last week's event, which included recollections from sister Angela Riggs, Bruce Clarke, the regular driver of local hero Gammalite, former club president and life member Tony Heffernan and young trainer Paddy Lee, who discussed the region's newest star, Keayang Zahara.

Brock told thetrots.com.au that his late father - also named Basil - drove a winner at Dalvui Raceway's opening meeting (pictured) and had many special memories of the venue as a child.

"It was quite a momentous evening really," Brock said.

"Dalvui Raceway is a major staple of the town. It's a terrific complex and asset to the town.

"I went there the other night - I hadn't been on the course for probably 20 years - and (saw) the developments they've done and the amenities. It always had a lot of quaint old buildings, but now it's quite modern and doesn't look like it has been left behind at all. It's very progressive."

Victorian Hall Of Fame legend Gammalite, who was trained by Leo O'Connor and became the first Australian standardbred to win $1million in prizemoney, is buried at the entrance of Dalvui Raceway.

Last week's gathering also involved a presentation to Evan Savage, who stood down as club president in August after 11 years.
