He may not get into the sulky as much as he used to, but it has been announced that Bill ‘The Magic Man’ O’Donnell will soon be on the move.

Trot Insider has learned that the legendary reinsman, lovingly referred to as ‘The Magic Man,’ will be heading east this week, as he has been confirmed as the guest speaker for Inverness Raceway's annual awards banquet.

The banquet, complete with a dinner and dance, will take place this Saturday evening (April 21) at Inverness Raceway.

Cocktails will be served at 6:30 p.m. and the dinner and awards proceedings are expected to run from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Organizers have told Trot Insider that they are honoured to have O'Donnell, a multiple Hall of Fame inductee, as their guest speaker. The Springhill, Nova Scotia native won 5,743 races during his driving career, one in which he received numerous awards and drove to a long list of records.

Anyone wishing to purchase a ticket may do so at the office at the track, or from one of the horsepeople.
