"The most famous Chemist in Canadian sport history."The best Robinson story I heard, took place in the 80's. Bill was racing in the afternoon at Meadowlands, and later that evening at Mohawk. He and his driver left Newark Airport on a plane destined for Toronto...a 2 hour trip. They had no luggage, just carry on stuff. Bill put his attache case in the overhead bin for the flight.They were in the air for about 10 minutes, when the plane hit some bad turbulence....... ..causing a few of the overhead bins to open...........in cluding the one that had Bill's case in it. The case fell on the airplane floor......opened up...... and 2 bottles inside his case...broke open, and spilled on the carpet on the airplane floor.The plane arrived in Toronto.......1 hour ahead of scheduleLOL good one!

Again back at Greenwood I sitting in the dining room with 3 other guys and Bill is walking towards the table so I ask him to sit down for a drink and he does. We were all just shooting the breeze and after Bill finishes his drink he leans over and says his horse in the 8th he has him right now and let the guys know. The horse was at the Meadowlands with Gelrod and did nothing so Bill shipped him back and went to work on him and the horse was off 2 weeks. Condren was driving and left off the wings from the 6 hole and was never headed the whole mile, won opening up mid stretch. Best price I ever got on a Robinson horse 16.80
