The picture that emerges from those comments is a man of many parts -- a patriarch, a fierce competitor, a compassionate and generous philanthropist and a natural-born raconteur.

Sickness derailed the horse as he prepared for the biggest potential payday of his season, forcing owner Kathe Troy to scratch the lone horse in her stable from the $252,000 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes final for 2-year-old male pacers. Troy hopes the stakes-winning 3-year-old gets the opportunity to make up for it this season.
