Canadian writer for harness racing trade magazines to be inducted into Hall of Fame

Marie Hill, originally from Black's Harbour, N.B., is to be inducted into Communicators Hall of the Harness Racing Hall of Fame, according to Standardbred Canada. Hill, who had her first writing byline at age 11, has covered harness racing for major trade magazines, but she is best known in the sport as a prolific author, writing about racehorse-stallion star Adios, fellow native Canadian Joe O'Brien, and Single G, "The Horse That Time Forgot."

She and six other honorees will be feted first at the Harness Writers' annual awards banquet on Feb. 25, 2007 at the Borgata in Atlantic City, and then will be formally inducted during the Hall of Fame Weekend in Goshen, New York over the Fourth of July 2007.
