Some sad news from the world of horse racing.
Hall of Fame trainer John Veitch passed away earlier this week at 77. Veitch's best known runner was Alydar, who was a bridesmaid to Affirmed in the 1978 Triple Crown series, but gained a measure of revenge that summer, when Affirmed was DQ'd in the Travers at Saratoga.
