Career
Noel had very humble beginnings starting out in life as a potato farmer and truck driver. In 1969 Noel built a stable complex at Dowling Forest Racecourse, Ballarat. On the Monday, Frozen Section took a forward position in The Metropolitan and forged to the lead on the home turn, only to be beaten in the last stride by Passetruel.
Frozen Section never raced again.
Noel Kelly died in September, 1991, aged 60.
