![]() Some of you may remember a few months back that i posted a thread about the retirement of Artie Schiller http://derbytrail.com/forums/showthr...ie+schiller%22 If you read the story behind the horse, you would know that he was named after a man who was a great friend to many including myself.
To get to the point, Artie Schiller (the man) passed on Monday morning. Artie led a great life, and was loved by everyone. He was at every single race that the horse ran in, and was also a great racing fan. I spoke to his wife tonight, and she told be that he is going to be burried with his "Artie Schiller" hat from Horse Hats in his coffin. RIP Artie |
