One of the most prolific trainers in Canadian harness racing history, William Bill Robinson of Caledonia, Ont. passed away on Friday (Dec. 11) at the age of 74.
Robinson didn t come from a horse racing background, getting involved with racing after going in on a $1,500 claiming horse with a bunch of friends with working at a local Firestone factory. He eventually quit working at the factory to become a trainer and enjoyed tremendous success.
After developing horses the likes of Dream Maker and Lime Time in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Robinson ranked among the Ontario Jockey Club circuit s top conditioners throughout the later part of that decade and continued that success into the 1990s. As a trainer, Bill Robinson s horses earned more than $54.8 million, captured 2,738 races in 8,998 starts. Fifteen horses he trained won over $1 million dollars each, with three colts winning more than $2 million in a single year.
