RON ANWIN (1947-58) Race Caller Brisbane: Originally from South Australia, Anwin had called on 2GB in Sydney before joining 4BC on the retirement of Jim Anderson in 1947. He was from a major racing family and his father Jack rode Bravo to win in the 1889 Melbourne Cup beating Carbine. Unfortunately, Ron, who retired due to ill health in 1959, died of a heart attack in 1960 aged just 51. He was one of best racecallers we have had in Brisbane and was very well thought of by all. A gentleman at all times to all he came in contact with.
