Sad, condolences.

I emailed him once, along with other authors, asking his opinion of why favorites won roughly 33% , not 12.5% which at the time was the random percentage chance of 1/8 runners at the time (gone done) and not 25% 2x a random guess or 50%. He got the implication right away that the number may have significance and emailed back a couple of ideas, some sort of fibonacci relationship or that horse racing started as basically a match race between 2 horses and it may still be that but between the field, with top 2 winning 50% and rest of the field 50%.

Anyway, he will be missed. seems too "young"
