In Tribute:
Dr. Joe Rauch

November 01, 2009

Dr. Joe at Lantern Hill before last year's Iroquois Stakes (G-3) winNews of Dr. Joe’s sudden death Saturday morning hit like a fist to the jaw. Racing lost one of its most ardent fans, and those of us who went racing or to the sales with Joe know he was one of the warmest, most generous men ever to love a thoroughbred.
 
Anytime Capt. Candyman Can raced, Joe included everyone he knew in the excitement, and no one could be around him and not be caught up in the joy he and Dave Zell were having with this gutsy gelding.
 
To Rosemary Rauch, the Rauch children, grandchildren and all friends and relatives go our sincerest condolences on the loss of this great guy who lived his entire life to serve and help others.
