Trot Insider has learned that longtime horseman Bill Core has passed away at the age of 95.
Bill was a trainer, owner and breeder of many horses over his career. He was known for his love of trotters and his gift for training them. Some of the horses that highlighted his career were his homebreds including Formal Jen, B Cor Tamara and B Cor Jenny. These mares were successful both on the track and as broodmares.
Core was once featured in the Canadian Sportsman Magazine in recognition of his accomplishments and contributions to the sport of harness racing. He continued to train young horses up into his eighties and his love for horses was passed down to his daughter, granddaughters and now to his great-granddaughters.
Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the friends and family of Bill Core.
