Billy had a racehorse named after him. Billy Bremner was owned by Mrs Anne-Marie Banks and trained by Frank Carr at his Malton stables. The two-year-old was ridden by Lester Piggott in the Acomb stakes at York in 1971, and won by 8 lengths. It was sold and exported to Venezuela. Of its eight races in England, Billy Bremner won four times.
