Multiple graded stakes-winning trainer Tim Hills; four-time New England-bred champion Ask Queenie and her owner/breeder Lloyd Lockhart; jockey Leroy Moyers; and longtime publicity director Bob Varey are the newly-elected members of the New England Turf Writers Hall of Fame.
"This is a wonderful honor," said Hills, a Nashua, N.H. native who began his career at Rockingham Park and Suffolk Downs 37 years ago and has 1,883 career wins from 12,133 starts with $36,352,568 in earnings through May 12. "I am humbled and flattered."
Hills, who moved his operation to the New Jersey/New York and Florida circuits in the 1990s has consistently been among the top tier trainers there and took home leading trainer honors at Monmouth Park in 2002 and 2004. Former New England-based multiple graded stakes winner San's the Shadow is among his many stakes winners.
Ask Queenie is one of the most decorated and celebrated Massachusetts-breds in history. She was bred and owned by Lloyd Lockhart and trained by his daughter, Lori Lockhart.
