Down memory lane September 1972 .Marv Chantler starts his driving career

A young local reinsman Marvin Chantler of Newton Robinson has been a frequent visitor to the winner's circle of late .He has piloted the family owned and now 6 year old Mighty Lucy Bay to 3 straight wins in as many starts during the month of September . This mare is trotting bred by Riddell Todd out of Lucy Bay but is a pacer . She debuted as a two year old racing for Wes Coke and took a freshman record of 2:10 back in 1968 in her only victory that year . This filly is the first venture for the senior Mr. Dewitt (known as Dee) Chantler who has long had an interest in the sport undoubtedly from living so close to the farm of The Hon. Earl Rowe .He has recently had the pleasure of seeing his mare race close to home with his son handling the reins .
