Mark Williams was in the spotlight Sunday, July 14 at Dresden Raceway as he reeled off three winners including Cayo Loco, who won the Ken Houston Memorial Pace in 1:57.4.
“It was an honour to win this race. Kenny was a great guy. He was good for Dresden and good for Dresden Raceway,” Williams said. “He would stand at the fence by the paddock and yell 'Go get’em Mark.' It was a sad day when he passed away.”
Dresden-native Houston passed away in March 2018 after a battle with cancer. He played nine seasons in the NHL with Atlanta, Calgary, Washington and Los Angeles.
The rugged winger was also a staple at Dresden Raceway through the years and enjoyed harness racing as a fan and an owner. He owned several horses included Fish My Pal, Hosit the Colours and OSS Winner Spare Time Warrior.
Williams also won the first two dashes of the day with Evening Job and Sweet Queen Cole.
The total live handle at Dresden Raceway was $26,304.
