Dresden Raceway officials say Mark Austin was a trainer who got his start at Dresden Raceway and had amassed 837 wins and $9-million in purses when he died suddenly in 2014.
The local trainer vaulted into the spotlight when he was asked to break a trotter named A Worthy Lad for Joe Johnston and went on to great success with horses such as Oscarsson, Sparky Mark and Fool Me Once.
