Way to go Randy Waples ! You are an inspiration to harness racing.

Congrats Randy. Not only does this sport need more positive press like this, but with recent events in Windsor, a class act such as yourself is much needed there. Great job buddy

I'm getting ready to put this on my facebook and anyone who can spread the word about this story - should do so. Refreshing to see something positive and uplifting in the sport and just in time for the holidays! This isn't the first time Randy has given back to the community and I'm guessing it won't be the last! Go Randy!!! Hope other "stars" in our sport will be inspired!

I just hope the newspapers cover this. Usually they just cover suspensions and all the other negative things. way to go Randy

Randy has given more to the community of windsor in 3 months than the racetrack has in the past 5 years

Fill the Food Bank shelves, Randy ... hope you're driving one of those electric cars ;-) haha

Randys mere presence, and soft hands have kicked some life into the Windsor Sunday handle. Can never figure why most tracks fail to prmote their stars. The drivers are your players, use their faces and personality to mutual advantage. Most drivers are engaging and appreciate the exposure.

He seems like a solid guy and he's always very interesting to listen to when he is interviewed on The Score. Great job Randy!!

I met Randy at Truro Raceway appx 5 years ago. I just wanted to ask him a question about a horse him and his Dad once owned that I had here in the maritimes. He talked to me like we knew each other forever. I couldn't believe for someone as busy as he is, how he spent so much time with me. I will never forget that day and wish him and his family the best. No surprise to me at all that he is so generous.

Well done Randy, class act!

That Waples is more than just a big mouth and a pretty face! ;)

Randy has consistently, for the past several years, pledged thousands for numerous charitable organizations local to many Ontario tracks. From a racetrack operator's perspective, it is lovely, personalized gesture that bodes very well for the racetrack, and the industry as a whole within the local community. It puts a face on the sport within a positive and sincere context, and we can always use more of that!

hadn't played windsor sunday nights for a while.

first thing i did sunday aft was do a double take when saw his name all over card but:

no big money or sires stakes events,,just alot of cheaper claimers and conditions,,,

his name and presence added to their show that night,,and you had to pay attention where he was....

great to see,,,and greater for windsor food bank.

Nice gesture, bud! Continued success!

"You da' man Randy!!!" Talented, funny, and very compassionate...... It makes Harness Fans like myself proud to boast about what a great Industry it really is..... we need more 'good feeling' stories like this. Being a former Windsorite, I am aware of the need for the support you are offering in these hard economic times. The only problem I now have as a fan is betting against you at the Track as you are a 'real Winner, always'... thank you.......

Good for Randy!! I watch the races on tv from out west almost every night & enjoy watching Randy. We especially enjoy his interviews!

well finally some good news to write about in harness racing ,now there is leadership and the rest of the weg circuit should follow suit , there are lots of food banks or other charities they need financial support , even more this time year. kudos to randy waples.

Good on ya Randy-my-boy !!!
