Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 12, 2023 Journalists Posted June 12, 2023 Edited CHRB Press Release William 'Will' Meyers, a California steward for nearly 40 years, passed away Saturday at the age of 69. Will came from a racing family. His father was a steward and racing secretary. “Naturally, I started working with horses myself,” he once said. “When I was a boy we lived in Arcadia, then Coronado, and on weekends I would go down to Caliente to groom and pony horses. Later, I worked as a stewards' aide in Stockton, Sacramento, and Ferndale.” Meyers rose through the ranks of racing officials and became a steward in 1984. He was part of the steward rotation in California until February in advance of a heart operation. He served at many of the major tracks and fair meets. He is survived by his wife, Margaret, three children, and two grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.
