Thomson in Ohio Hall

 Return Home
January 12, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

W. D. "Tom" Thomson has been selected as the 31st inductee into the Ohio Harness Racing Hall of Fame in balloting of the Ohio Chapter of the United States Harness Writers Association. Thomson's selection will be announced at the Ohio Harness Horsemen/United States Trotting Association District One banquet on Saturday night in Columbus.



Other Ohio USHWA award winners are Harry Stokes, elected into the Immortal Hall of Fame; Bret Hanover, elected into the Standardbred Hall of Fame; Stella Hagemeyer, winner of the Rambling Willie Award for the Ohioan who has done the most for harness racing over the past two decades; Brett Miller, recipient of the Winner's Circle Award for the Ohioan who has achieved outstanding accomplishments in the past year; and Tony Hall, who will receive the Peter Haughton Memorial Award as the young Ohioan who is an "up-and-coming" star among harness horsemen.



Thomson has spent a lifetime in the sport, thanks to his association with the Little Brown Jug in Delaware. He has continued the legacy of his late father, Hank, by keeping the Delaware County Fair and Little Brown Jug as the premier stop on the Grand Circuit. Tom is currently the Director of Racing at Delaware, as well as President and Treasurer of the Little Brown Jug Society, and is a member of the Delaware County Fair Board. Thomson has also served the industry as Grand Circuit president for the past 13 years.
