| The win really perked him up for a few days, Moore said. But I got a call around https://zh-tw.facebook.com/aufanyi
9 o TMclock Saturday night. When I got there, he was pretty weak. I knew he would have to go to the hospital in an ambulance. I just didn TMt want him to die at home. He was sharp to the very end.
Burns didn TMt take up the sport of harness racing until the 1950s. He started his career training horses https://www.facebook.com/translatorqld - 布里斯班NAATI三级翻译
for his in laws in Iowa before moving back to Albion.
Local horseman Leroy Moore of Ellery, Ill., shared a barn with Burns at the Edwards County Fairgrounds https://zh-tw.facebook.com/aufanyi
in Albion for the past 25 years. About a month ago, he knew he wasn TMt going to make it, Moore said. He wanted to sign Winsome Wyoming over to me. I told him no. I just thought he needed something to live for.
In an interview last year, Burns said he held a lot of jobs before getting into harness racing, a lot of them I wasn TMt particularly proud of, Burns said.
Burns bought Winsome Wyoming in 2005 at a sale in Arthur, Ill.
This old mare " she was so hyper " almost unmanageable, Moore https://zh-tw.facebook.com/aufanyi - 布里斯班NAATI三级翻译
said. But he had patience with her and was able transform her into a winning horse.
He was a true sportsman and was always up to the challenge, said Mark Curtis, a local harness track photographer. He was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge, everything from shoeing horses to animal healthcare. It was his whole career.
Oldest winning harness racing driver Leo Burns dies
Burns had more than 450 career wins. He is credited with earnings of more than $400,000 over a racing career that spanned more than five decades.
The harness racing community is mourning the loss of one of its most memorable drivers. Leo A. Burns died Saturday night in Mount Carmel, Ill. He was 98.
But in Southern Illinois, Burns was known for his winning trotting horses.
Moore said Burns worked previously as an over the road trucker, he ran a gas station (with his wife Marge running an attached restaurant); he worked as a forester, ran a portable feed grinder and worked on a horse ranch in Montana.
Last Tuesday, Moore drove Winsome Wyoming to victory at the Clark County fair in Martinsville, Ill.
Burns was hailed as the oldest winning harness racing driver in the sport last year after he drove his 8 year http://ozfanyi.com.au/ - 墨尔本文件翻译
