Breaks a streak of attending 21 straight Triple Crown races dating back to Preakness '00... Have to be in Florida for show Monday, so it turned out to be the right call.

Had to bring this thread back today as news comes of the passing of W. C. Heinz this past week at age 93 in Bennington, VT. I'm sorry that I did not take advantage of his proximity these last 10 years to meet him...


BILL HEINZ, 1915-2008

His NY Times obit:
