So sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend during our days at the Meadowlands. I felt privileged to drive his horses at Hollywood Park. You will be missed. Rest in peace and give Cindy a biscuit.

Thanks for your condolences. Those certainly were the good days. I couldn't believe you remembered our dog Cindy. They are together now healthy and well. Brenda

Pete was there in 1976 at the Meadowlands when they opened as I was. We had some great times. He was a great guy. Rest in peace my friend.

Pete was a really good friend. We used to love to hear him tell his countless Meadowlands stories. He will be missed.

Was very sorry to hear that. Peter was a close personal friend. He always put his horses at the top over everything else. He was a very good trainer and that was his life.

Peter Seaman was born in Moncton, New Brunswick. He raced a few years at Windsor Raceway but in 1976 he headed to the Meadowlands with a stable of horses, there he had many successful years. He loved what he did for a living. His greatest horse was Safe Arrival Peter passed away with health complications on Feb 24 at his sister's (Ruth) home in Calgary Alberta. He will be greatly missed by friends and family. Rest in Peace
