SCHOENBORN
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...choenborn-dies One of the pioneers of the New York breeding program, Gustave C. Schoenborn Sr. died May 11 at his home in Coxsackie, N.Y., following a short illness. He was 75. Born in Detroit in 1936, Schoenborn served in the U.S. Army from 1952-56. With his brother, Everett, he founded Schoenborn Brothers Farm, which quickly became one of the leading Thoroughbred breeding operations in New York. The brothers operated the farm for five decades, standing such regional standouts as Cormorant and Talc. Schoenborn’s son, Gus Schoenborn Jr., would go on to found Contemporary Stallions. Contemporary stood New York stalwarts Ends Well and Double Negative, plus Lucky Roberto, subsequently a successful sire in Argentina, and City Zip , who now stands at William S. Farish’s Lane’s End Farm near Versailles, Ky.

Thanks for informing us Steve...
My condolences to the families and friends.... I remember both as being major forces on the NY racing scene for many a year. Mom's Command was quite a race horse and Abby always rode her to perfection. Also, Talc was one of my all-time favorites.... Again, my thoughts go out to both families at this time...

When I was stationed at Pease AFB, NH in 1968, my wife and I visited Mr. Fuller's horse farm in Seabrook, NH and saw Dancer's Image in his paddock.
Peter Fuller was a class act all the way, and he will be missed. There was talk at the time of the dq of Dancer's Image from the Derby purse that the Kentucky "good ole boys" were being vindictive because Fuller was a notorious civil rights advocate and had a long history of supporting liberal causes that didn't sit well with 1960's southerners.
