Hall of Famer Keith Waples did more than enough during his illustrious career to warrant being called The Master. And at the age of 94, he's still showing why that nickname is so appropriate.

The following video was shot on May 13 and shows Keith Waples sitting behind Senior K, a horse he owns and clearly still can navigate around a racetrack.

Today, Waples' daughter Karen Hauver passed on this photo of Keith and his wife Eileen, 92, dressed to the nines and enjoying a piece of cake for the couple's 72nd wedding anniversary.

"They were married on June 1st, 1946 in Hillsdale, Ontario," Hauver told Trot Insider. "Dad is 94 and Mom is 92 and they’re still going strong. Amazing!"

Hi Keith, you may not remember me, but when you raced at the now defunct Blue Bonnets, we use to go to the Garland Tavern for lunch and a beer. Congratulations to your wife and yourself, enjoy and GOOD LUCK.

So great to see two such precious people! Your journey through life has brought you many rewards during those 72 years. It is amazing what LOVE can do. Your family are blessed to have shared this with you.

Please accept our best wishes for your anniversary.
