Bill Johnstone Passes

Published: October 6, 2008 09:00 am EDT

Services were held over the weekend for longtime horse owner Bill Johnstone of Kirkfield, Ontario, who recently passed away.

Bill and his wife Rose raced a significant number of horses for many years and for the last 15 years they were trained by Mike Wade.

During their time with Wade the Johnstones enjoyed success with two Ontario-sired horses. Goldenshot Killean, a son of Run The Table, won close to $400,000 in his career. Their other top performer was the $130,000 winner Classy Dexter who captured the Grassroots Final for her division back in 1999.

Johnstone is survived by his wife Rose, sons William Jr. and John and daughter Bonnie.

Please join SC in offering condolences to the family and friends of Bill Johnstone.
