Rambling Willie
Rambling Willie (1970 - 1995) was a bay pacing gelding by Rambling Fury[?] out of Meadow Belle[?] by Meadow Gold[?]. He was trained and driven by Bob Farrington[?].
He won a record 128 races in a record 304 starts, including the U. S. Pacing Championship[?] in 1976, and the Canadian Pacing Derby[?] in 1976 and 1977 (he also dead-heated for first with Pickwick Baron[?] in this race in 1975), setting a best time for the mile of 1:54.3. He was voted North American aged pacer of the year in 1975, 1976, and 1977 (an aged standardbred is at least 4 years old), and was retired in 1983 as the leading standardbred money winner of all time.
Rambling Willie died in 1995 and was buried in the Kentucky Horse Park[?], in Lexington, Kentucky.
