The Millers offered a few select yearlings each year at venues including the Illini Classic, Hoosier Classic, Blooded Horse Sale, and, recently, the Lexington Selected Sale.
Among the yearlings prepped and sold by Amzy and Darrell were the 21-time winner Native Dream p,1:50.1f ($314,791) and Illinois Super Night champion Big Bill Breeze 1:54f ($291,347).
Miller is survived by his wife of 54 years, Mary; son, Darrell; daughter, Carol (Paul) Stutzman; grandchildren, Jared, Jaden and Janae; and eight brothers and sisters.
