Breeders Association and Maryland Million, Ltd., and he was the one to choose his replace- ment. Likewise, upon Rich’s retirement from UofL, Tim became the director of the Equine Industry Program. T ere was a certain amount of irony in Tim’s
move to Kentucky. You see, whenever he was in Annapolis, Tim delighted in explaining to leg- islators that, without Maryland’s historic T or- oughbred breeding farms, there would be no great Kentucky T oroughbred breeding farms. With his crooked smile, Tim would trace the historic roots of Maryland racing and T orough- bred breeding, the impact of the Civil War, the relocating of key breeding stock to the other side of the mountains, and bend the story arc into the present. Once again, the Kentucky T orough- bred industry benefi ted from Maryland when they recruited Tim Capps to Louisville. In his decade at the University, Tim men-
tored and molded hundreds of young minds in the equine business fi eld, including numerous Marylanders, And to our delight, some became Equiery interns! During that decade, Tim con- tinued to observe and analyze the Maryland horse industry, particularly its racing industry, and continued to contribute occasional op-ed pieces to T e Equiery. Everyone at T e Equiery extends their sincer- est condolences to Tim’s wife Nancy and their daughter Meredith. - Crystal B. Pickett, publisher
