10 Country Racing Victoria Director Brendan Dreschler has sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer. The beloved racing figure was a CRV Director for nine years, previously spending eight years as Chairman of the Bendigo Racing Club and seven in the same role at the Marong Racing Club, and was a life member of both clubs. Dreschler also spent 50 years as a CFA volunteer, following in his father and grandfather’s footsteps as Captain of the Sedgewick Fire Brigade. On behalf of Sale Turf Club, we are incredibly saddened by the loss of Brendan Drechsler,” His passion for all things country racing was unmatched and his contribution and service to the industry over his lifetime immense. Brendan was a regular figure at country race meetings, especially since his appointment to the CRV board in 2016, and his presence and love of the industry will be sorely missed. Brendan fought his long battle with determination and courage and our thoughts are with his family, including his wife Pam, during this extremely sad time. Vale Brendan Dreschler
