In this week s edition of Rewind Robert Smith profiles the career of one of Canada s greatest horsemen of the 20th century. That gentleman was the late John Chapman, a member of one of the best known families in the sport a half century ago. He is a member of both the Canadian and U.S. Hall of Fame.
A little over 40 years ago, on May 2, 1980 the sport of harness racing lost one of its finest citizens with the untimely passing of Johnny Chapman; he was just 51 at the time. Chappie as he was known to all was stricken with a heart attack just before leaving his home for Roosevelt Raceway. His career, which began in the decade of the 1940 s back at Dufferin Park right near his home in Toronto, led him to many of the top events the sport had to offer. He was known as an elite horseman and acquitted himself well in everything he did.
