Sad news. Was not a fan of the sport during the Seattle Slew days, but met him a few times while he trained a horse we had a small share in with Castle Village some years ago. One weekend at Saratoga, my wife took three of her friends up for the weekend; she took them over to see the horse and Billy and his wife couldn't have been nicer, it made a great impression on them. So we have fond memories of Billy as a good person, may he rest in peace.
