Galentine, 80 GREENWOOD - Austin E. "Ned" Galentine passed into heaven on Wednesday, May 30, 2012, after a short stay at the Delaware Hospice Center, Milford. Born in Amesbury, Mass., he is the son of the late Paul Guy Galentine and Bessie Noyes Galentine. Mr. Galentine served with the 2nd Infantry Division in the U.S. Army during the Korean War in 1951 and 1952, and continued serving until June 1954. He is a member of the Korean War Veterans Alliance. Upon returning to the United States he began his Harness Racing Career with his stepfather, Henry Clukey. His career spanned more than three decades, racing at harness tracks throughout the East Coast, New England States and Canada. He was a Standardbred owner, trainer and driver and earned the distinction of Leading Driver. He amassed over 793 racing career wins. His infamous love of training and racing trotters led him to the upset victory over his long-time friend Stanley Dancer's horse with "Mr. Regal" during Grand Circuit week at Brandywine Raceway in 1971, a ride he never forgot. He remained a member of the United State Trotting Association for over 60 years. He retired from the sulky in August 1981, to embrace his position in the judges' stand. With his longtime knowledge and love of Harness Racing he quickly became Presiding Judge for the Delaware and Maryland Race Tracks, Dover Downs, Brandywine, Harrington Raceway and Ocean Downs.
