Driver-Trainer of the great Rambling Willie and many other top horses. The last time I saw him I was down at Southern Oaks in Sorrento, Florida and he was living in Sanford. He came over to watch us train sets of two-year olds.

Off the three-quarters in 1:28 flat and they've got Rambling Willie to catch.

Wow. I couldn't count the number of times I saw Bob & Rambling Willie run back when I was a yute in the mid to late 1970's. RW was one of the greatest harness horses ever, winning more than 1/3rd of his starts.
RIP Bob.

I was a Big Rambling Willie & Farrington fan when I played the buggies. I think on Willies demise he said something like the most important thing about a racehorse you can't see :cry:
