Dazzling Falls and trainer Chuck Turco at Rogers Ranch in Mead, Neb.
As Nebraska sits on the precipice of seismic change with its recent racino green-light, the state also lays to rest one of its greatest equine heroes.
Dazzling Falls, who became the only Nebraska-bred to compete in the Kentucky Derby when he finished 13th in 1995, was found dead in his field Tuesday in Mead, Neb., just outside Omaha, bringing to an end 28 years as the standard bearer for the Cornhusker State as a runner and a sire.
The son of Taylor s Falls competed as a homebred for Donald and Barbara Kroeger s Chateau Ridge Farm, and he lived out his final years at Rogers Ranch, supported financially by Barbara on behalf of her late husband. Dazzling Falls was handled for the bulk of his racing career by Omaha-born trainer Chuck Turco.
Lost And Found Presented By LubriSynHA: Pickleball Replaces Ponies For Former Jockey Lively Sponsored by: Pat was very supportive the whole time whatever I wanted to do, whatever ever I wanted to try, she was there, said former jockey John Lively.
Nearly three decades after riding in his final race, John Lively is still competitive, still athletic and still enjoying camaraderie. Instead of the racetrack, he and his wife Pat have found those same elements in playing pickleball, a hybrid of tennis, table tennis, and badminton.
“We play two, three, sometimes four hours a day,” he said. “We feel that it is good for our health to stay active and fit. It is fun and we enjoy meeting other people. It is very big in Florida and Arizona where we used to spend the winters and it is getting bigger all the time.”
