Daniel Stearns, longtime owner, breeder, veterinarian, and a former head of the Ohio Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protection Association, died on Thursday. He was 90 years old.
Stearns served as the state veterinarian at Sunshine Park in the late 1940’s before coming to Thistledown in the early 1950’s. He has bred and owned horses in the state ever since.
Stearns was a driving force behind the creation of the Ohio Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners.
He is survived by his son, Daniel Jr.

SWEET MARINI should win this sprint for California N1X fillies and mares at a short price. The lightly raced gray ran super one month ago in a two-turn stakes; she set all the pace but was collared in deep stretch. It was just her third start, and her first around two turns. Now she shortens in distance, drops in class, and can be gone late at odds-on. ZUZU'S PETALS came out firing in her debut, winning a by a length and a half over a filly (Tribal Chatter) that returned Thursday to win a maiden race.
