CA manager William Meyers passes away
Edited CHRB press release
William ‘Will’ Meyers, a California housekeeper for nearly 40 years, died Saturday at the age of 69.
Will comes from a racing family. His father was a racing manager and secretary.
He once said: “Of course, I started working with horses. “When I was a boy, we lived in Arcadia, then Coronado, and on weekends I would go down to Caliente to groom and take care of the horses. After that, I worked as an assistant manager in Stockton, Sacramento and Ferndale.”
Meyers rose through the ranks of racing officials and became a manager in 1984. He was part of a manager rotation in California until February before heart surgery. He has served at many major racetracks and fairs.
He is survived by his wife, Margaret, three children and two grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.
