Taylor Vit, son of Kathie and Bill Vit of Cool Cat Racing, formerly Bowl Stables, was involved in a fatal automobile accident in October 2010 in Lexington, KY at the young age of 22.

Taylor was an accomplished young man, the assistant-captain of the University of Kentucky's ice hockey team, a senior majoring in Economics who had a love for Standardbred racehorses. He worked during the summers for Saga Farm in Kentucky, and Winbak Farm in Maryland.

His family, parents and brothers, Zachary and Cameron, knowing Taylor's love for the horses, have established the Taylor Vit Memorial Fund in his memory at the Standardbred Retirement Foundation (SRF). Cool Cat Racing has committed a percent of its earnings to Taylor's fund.

Contributions in memory of Taylor will help provide the horses he had a passion for, with lifelong dignity, and may be made by going to SRF's website at adoptahorse.org, mailing to SRF at 353 Sweetmans LN, Millstone Twp, NJ 08535, by contacting Judith Bokman at 732-446-4422, or by using the Win*Win form available on SRF's website to set up an automatic deduction from winnings.
