Trained by Noel Boland in the Hunter Valley town of Branxton, Husisname is a horse whose reputation has pretty much being built at Louth.

Three of the 10-year-old’s six wins have come on the iconic dirt track that resembles an oasis when, after hundreds of kilometres of driving you stumble across a veritable tent city full of campers in the middle of nowhere.

Back in 2011 it was Parkes-based hoop Michael Hackett who was in the saddle when Boland’s Hussonet (USA) x Valsora (Ire) gelding first won the big race by more than five lengths.

A year later it was champion hoop Greg Ryan who had the plum ride, guiding Husisname to his second win in the event, this time by just over four lengths.

James Geppert took over in 2013 as the warhorse beat Park Heir and Teraset by one-and-a-quarter lengths.

History beckoned last year when Boland took Husisname back for a fourth crack at the race, only for him to finish third, beaten less than a length by  Win For Wilson, with Teraset splitting that pair.

Teraset will again be among the rivals when six horses line up in the 2015 edition of the race, which is expected to once again be run in front of a massive crowd.

About 100 people live at Louth, give or take a few, but every year when the races roll around the population of the little village, situated firmly on the banks of the Darling River, swells  to more than 3000.

Seven races will be decided today, with the once-a-year club offering up $60,000 in prizemoney.

Racing gets underway at  12.55, with the final event being run at 4.40pm.

Husisname’s chance to write himself into the history books will come at 4pm.
