14 April 1973   Globe Derby Park

Globe Derby Park at Bolivar was opened on 14 April 1973. Some
16,000 people attended the first night program of seven races. A 'Lady of Fashion' competition was held and the evening was considered to be a great success. The new Park replaced the old and inadequate Wayville track and gave a new lease of life to trotting in South Australia which had been in the doldrums for some years.
