The Life and Times of Mac Lilley
News Highlights: The Life and Times of Mac Lilley
Released: Jan 30, 2021 3:18 PM ET
Harry Malcom ‘Mac’ Lilley was born on January 29, 1941, and 80 years later, the old rider is still part of the harness racing industry.
Ruleen Lilley wrote the following release on behalf of Mac Lilley Farms in honor of the breeding’s namesake.
It was a cold and windy day when Mac was born. It was -10 degrees Celsius and the snow from the night before had gathered in tiny chunks on his mother and father’s windowsill in the bedroom.
His mother, Cassie, had felt the familiar stinging of the early stages of labor as she packed the children’s lunch packs. She and her husband Harry already had nine children: three boys (Alen, Cliff and Don) and six girls (Flossie, Ella, June, Martha, Sadie, Peggy)
