My father Bill Stirton raced with Peter and his father in the Maple Leaf Trot in 1979 at Greenwood in Toronto. At the after party I was introduced to Peter. I remember the day my father told me of his passing. All these years later I remember well the sound of his voice and the expression on his face that day when he told me of Peter's tragic accident 🇨🇦♥️🇺🇸
Ahh, this video brings back memories. I was training/racing a string at Brandywine in 1979. I raced against Peter a few times.
TO LAKEPEEPLE nice to hear your still here with us to keep the memories alive .John Kraft Family, friends & Stable
Wow, it's so good to see anything associated with the late great Brandywine Raceway. How I miss that place -- I was trying to tell if that was Gene Hart calling the race in the background. Thanks so much for posting this.
ONE OF THE GREATEST MEN IN HARNESS RACING PETER HAUGHTON DIED SHORTLY AFTER IN A CAR ACCIDENT IT BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES I THOUGHT THE WORLD OF PETER I PLAYED WITH HIM HAS A YOUNG CHILD EVERY SUMMER HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO BEING THE GREATEST HARNESS DRIVER HE SPEAK OF ARMBRO OMAHA I GROOMED HIM AT WON TIME HE BECAME ONE OF CANADA BEST SIRES WHEN I WORKED FOR BRIAN LAWSON WE HAD TWO NICE FILLIES BY OMAHA TASH DORA AND ARDA LUCK
I wasn't around then but I heard that the lad was really talented, that's so sad. Gd bless
I was working for Billy when we lost Peter. Such a terrible terrible morning in the barn when they gave us the news of his accident...........and then of course a few shorts years later we had a terrible night after we lost WR.
Brandywine was the best stretch on a 5/8 ths in the whole country. I also liked Freestate (torn down) , Hazel Park, and then Greenwood. PS: I miss Roosevelt too
