Dover, DE — Warren Cameron, 72, a top harness horseman and a leading driver of the mid-20th century, died May 25, 2014, in Astor, Fla.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Mr. Cameron directed one of the top stables based at Delaware Valley tracks Brandywine Raceway and Liberty Bell Park.

Mr. Cameron was trainer-driver of a number of powerful horses owned by Washington, D.C., horseman Dr. Max Fischer and attorney Norman Diamond.

In addition to his large stable, Mr. Cameron was a first-call catch driver and usually drove horses conditioned by Hall of Famer Stanley Dancer when sent to race at the Delaware Valley tracks.

The outstanding Free-For-All pacer Direct Scooter, top class pacers Mighty Ad and Lunas Bullet, and one of the standout trotters of the time, Rocket Speed, were among several dozen noted upper-class horses in the Cameron barn.

Warren and his brother, Gary, also a trainer-driver, were sons of Hall of Fame trainer-driver Del Cameron.

Following retirement from active competition, Mr. Cameron lived in Chester Springs, Pa. and also trained horses at Pinehurst, N.C.

He is survived by his wife, Elaine; sons, Jeff and Greg, both former harness horsemen; and five grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a son, Doug.
