bless him, he lived a long life.

He passed away in Paso Robles CA. Nice place to go.

His story with his "Sunshine Boys" owners was a compelling one in the Spring of 1986.

I'll freely admit that one of my favorite Kentucky Derby's ever was his....though my love after the fact was for Ferdinand, Shoemaker and Whittingham.

At one point of the race I believe the call was, "And here comes Snow Chief gaining on the outside!"
