Trot Insider has learned that former standardbred owner and trainer Howard Smith passed away suddenly in Oshawa today (Tuesday, November 27) at the age of 73.

Smith, who was a well known member of the harness racing industry before stepping away from the scene in 1990, is the son of former horseman Cyril Smith.

Regarded as both a great guy and an avid horseman, Howard, who was from Oshawa but was living in Newcastle, raced all over the province of Ontario and found much success at Garden City Raceway, Kawartha Downs, Hanover Raceway and Barrie Raceway.

Trot Insider has learned that a small, private, family service is being planned for Howard.

Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of Howard Smith.
