THE industry was saddened to hear of the passing of former owner Donald McKechnie.
Donald passed away last Friday, aged 89.
He raced horses over the years with well-respected horsemen such as Alf Phillis, Lawrie Moulds, Kevin Newman, Jimmy Castles, Clarrie Sweeny and his grandson Shane Tritton.
With a family involvement in harness racing, his children and grandchildren, including Harness Racing New South Wales Steward Grant Adams, have continued the family’s legacy in the sport.
A funeral service for Donald will be held at Pinegrove Memorial Park on Wednesday May 31 at 2pm.
Harness Racing NSW extends its deepest sympathies to Donald’s family and friends.
