Longtime harness racing industry participant Robert "Robbie" Clark of Dundas, Ont. passed away on June 1, 2026, just shy of his 76th birthday.
Over the years Robbie worked for Max Webster and trainers such as Robert Silliphant and Francis MacNeil. Some of the horses he cared for included Lynden Dodger, Audrey Lobell, Georgia Speed and Vandella. Robbie also trained his own horses, with favourite campaigners the likes of J D Nan, Moriah Torrann and Argyel Kristie.
Robbie was a kind soul, always around giving a helping hand, telling jokes and putting a smile on everyone’s face. He always walked around with a golf club even though he never golfed. Robbie will be missed and remembered by his family and friends.
Predeceased by brothers Ronnie, Gene (Isabel), George Neil (Vicki), Doug, Carl (Jackie), Walter (Edna), Lloyd (Carol), Brian (Cathy), Robbie is survived by sisters Marie Weatherbee and Linda (George) Boyce.
