Default Artie Schiller

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

There was a lovely article in the Blood-Horse about this man following the '05 Breeder's Cup and why Artie was named after him...RIP.

Very sorry for your loss. For what it is worth, I think it's great that his name lives on in the horse.

Thats sad to hear. When I lived in Bay Shore in the 70s I used to go to his Southside Hotel to have a few. He was a gentleman. KP
