Listen "Episode 144: Glenn McElhinney"
Episode Synopsis
Glenn talks of his childhood days living at Rosehill when there was only one trotting trainer in a bustling thoroughbred precinct.
That trainer took young Glenn under his wing and had him in the sulky from a very early age.
Glenn recalls the closure of the Granville Showground to make way for the Parramatta Speedway. He and his brothers had to move their horses to Bankstown which turned out to be a life changing move for the budding harness driver.
He reflects on five incredible years in the early part of the millenium when he drove a huge number of winners.
Glenn pays tribute to the trainers who’ve helped him along the way, and to the best horses he’s driven.
He talks of his hopes for the future.
