HAVING spent so much time at his second home, Brett Kitching enjoys sharing why the Ipswich Turf Club is such an important part of his life.
The racing hub has provided almost daily experiences from when he was brought up just down the road at Ebbw Vale and he attended Bundamba primary and high schools.
"I remember many days hanging over the fence watching the races from the primary school, or from the top level of the high school looking out over the course on midweek race days,'' Kitching said.
"Ipswich was always the centre of my universe. I even initially thought the 1971 Melbourne Cup, won by the grey Silver Knight, was run at Bundamba when I hung over the school fence at lunchtime on the first Tuesday of November and saw a grey horse win the lunchtime race.''
