SHELBYVILLE, IN—NOVEMBER 12, 2021—It was another great year for Williams Racing at Indiana Grand. The husband and wife team of Gwen and Randy Williams of LaCenter, Ky. topped the standings in the Leading Quarter Horse Owner category for the second straight year to earn the title.
Horses owned by Williams Racing won 11 of 36 starts and were among the top three in 23 of those outings. They earned a total of $371,794 in purse earnings and campaigned such standouts as WRs Apolliticalivory, WRs Valentino and WRs Moonin Thewagon, all home breds.
Randy is currently recovering from a recent illness and the Williams could not attend to accept their award. Gwen sent a note via e-mail regarding the title.
"We wish we could be there," said Gwen. "We love Indiana Grand and are so grateful we have such a wonderful place to race our horses. And so thankful for Randy and Debbie Smith and their team for all the hard work they do."
Williams Racing now has 44 wins at Indiana Grand and are among the track’s top five all-time winning Quarter Horse owners. They also went over $1 million in career earnings this season. Last year’s tally of 13 ties Tony Cunningham for most wins in one season by a Quarter Horse owner.
The 20th season of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing is set to resume Tuesday, April 19 and run through Wednesday, Nov. 23. Racing will be held Monday through Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. (EST) with Thursday racing beginning at 3:30 p.m. A total of 12 Saturday racing programs will be held in 2022.
