Bill Harmatz first inductee to the "Vista Walk of Fame"



Bill Harmatz, 79, a thoroughbred jockey who rode Royal Orbit to victory in the 1959 Preakness Stakes, died Thursday at his home in the San Diego County city of Vista, his daughter Sue Harmatz said. He had cancer.
Harmatz began racing professionally at the Caliente track in Tijuana in 1953. Based in Southern California, he had 1,770 wins by the time he retired in 1971. In the other Triple Crown races of 1959, he and Royal Orbit finished fourth in the Kentucky Derby and third in the Belmont Stakes. Bill Shoemaker won the Kentucky Derby with Tomy Lee and Shoemaker won the Belmont with Sword Dancer.

Thanks to all those involved. Over 30,000 people enjoyed our beautiful city. The concert at the Moonlight was spectacular Thanks to all the entertainers who donated their time, the countless number of volunteers who welcomed guest to our city and served on the boards of the Vista Chamber of Commerce, the Vista Conservancy and the Vista Village Business Association. Thanks to the digital artist for the flyers. Thanks to Hewlett Packard for their contribution for the Walk of Fame and the art work coming out of North County Graphics. Thanks to AJ for our blog and Alan for his filming. The tireless efforts from the staff of the Chamber,  the VVBA and the City of Vista. The support from the City Council. The artist from the high schools and the professional ranks. The service groups and the faith centers. Thanks to the fire department for the rainbow and the kids in the choir.
The list goes on.
We could not do this without the community bonding together. I'm proud to call Vista my home and it was a true pleasure to work with so many community activists.
Please follow our path on our blog and the British Roamer website as we get ready for next year.
