London, ON — Horse people in London are once again showing their generosity in support of one of their own.

Longtime Raceway paddock employee Bobby Mitz recently underwent surgery after suffering a heart attack and is currently at home and on the mend.

Mitz is one of the first faces that horse people see each night when they arrive at the London oval, always there to meet them with a smile and a helping hand as they unload horses that are entered to race that night.

A donation box has been set up in The Raceway paddock and will be there all week long for those who wish to donate.

In response, several of The Raceway’s drivers and trainers have graciously offered to donate a portion of their earnings from next Monday night’s program to Mitz. The money raised will assist Mitz as he continues his road to recovery.
