Be nice to see the three year old finals in two weeks in Bangor.

I knew his first wife Kathy she was a gorgeous woman. Congrats Walter

[Yonkers1A]

The greatest driver ever.

[Locked in with pace]

would have gone down as the all-time best if not for the drugs and booze. He made speed like no other. He drove any type of horse and stepped them up big time. He paid his dues, and is now back in the bike. I had the pleasure of talking with him a few years ago.  Time will tell what his next chapter is.

[Grandstand Handicapper]

A man with tremendous talent and tremendous skills. Like some, he has a disease, a sickness. It's a demon, a monster, you have to fight every day, one day at a time. That is not an excuse for his actions, nor justification for what he's done, or anything of the like. I wish for him, everything he wants out of life----and the desire to have it all, do the work, and get it for himself----and all the best for health, happiness, and sobriety. One day at a time.

 Grandstand that was so well said that it put a huge smile on my face as lately i have lost faith in humanity and you will take abuse for your words from a few,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,  I was really happy for him as he was a great talent and yes many will say he was a bad human being but he was not in control and his actions made sense to me,,,,,,,,,,,, he was not in control and needed substance,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Now i have to admit WALTER was hard on my nerves as he would drive horse that would be weak in the lane of a perfect trip with a different driver and be 1-2 and i would bet way to much thinking there was great value and these 1-2 horses won way to often as his magical hands would get run out of these horses,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I REMEMBER A DAY HE PAID 60-1 ON A horses and this horse should of had to qualify to race and the announcer called him a huge overlay and about 2 months later that horse was backing through the field for 3 claiming at Monti but that day he won was something that made no sense,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i just hope he stays clean and happy as everyone deserves that with an addiction,,,,,,,,,

I think we pretty much no how this chapter will go. Since Maine is the only state to license him. He is also in his 60's.

Not even close to the talent of my dear friend Lew Williams, Super Lew was winning major stakes all over NA. Had he not taken a wrong turn he would have been the greatest of all time. John Campbell also has the same opinion.
Me personally I never saw or felt Walter could drive in the major events when all the top drivers should up.

Lew Williams was very talented, but would he have been given the same opportunities as Campbell at the Meadowlands because he was black, I say no.

[Meadow Ford]

He is also in his 60's.

Hay! Have you not heard?
Sixties is the new forties!

In Ake's case, being married to a woman 20 years younger with 2 kids under 13 keeps him young.

Absolutely he would have ,he was top 3 I believe in the first two years Big M was open and Joe DeFrank loved him as well. Lew threw away an incredible career. Let’s not  forget he also is in the HOF

[gh2009]

Living in Delaware, I didn't follow the early years of Meadowlands that much. I know who Lew Williams was but really didn't see him drive much.  I lived very close to the old Brandywine Raceway and also went to Liberty Bell and Dover Downs alot because it was closer.
