Saw him training many a summer in Omaha at Ak-Sar-Ben. Classy, solid midwestern trainer. Sympathies to the family.

R.I.P. Mr. Holthus and prayers of comfort for his family members. Thank you for all the years you brought great entertainment to those of us attending Oaklawn. You helped forge many a career for those who worked under your guidence and direction. You will be sadly missed.
