Gary Hill passing
To the Hill family so sorry for your loss.I worked together with Gary for Tom Artandi but was good friends and tennis opponents otherwise. He was an excellent horseman who looked after a lot of great horses but I would say Perfect Out was the best. We remained friends long after I left the business. Going to miss your laugh.
So long Big Jim, I will miss…
So long Big Jim, I will miss you so much. So many good memories. Rest in peace, see you on the other side.
