IN keeping with the celebrations of the racing season, the Dunkeld Museum committee has invited the public to attend its next meeting on Monday, to hear about the racing career of legendary Dunkeld racehorse, ‘Tauto’.

Dubbed the ‘Dunkeld Dynamo’, the ‘bush terror’, ‘Tauto the Terrific’ or ‘Tauto the Terrible’ depending on which way one may have hedged their bet, it’s over 50 years since the famous gelding won the W.S. Cox Plate in 1971.
