Deputed Testamony, who gave all that he had

The sad news of Deputed Testamony's passing brings to mind the love the Boniface family felt toward its 32-year-old homebred classic winner. How many farms can lay claim to a top horse that they bred, raised, broke, trained, raced, stood at stud, pensioned and - last - buried on their property? Bonita Farm can.
Personally, the news reminded me of a wonderful morning spent at Bonita eleven years ago, when I visited the then-21-year-old Deputed Testamony (nicknamed D.T.) for the book Old Friends. That day, Billy Boniface - then the farm's stallion manager - brought their beloved stallion out for photos. Billy is the son of J. William (Bill) Boniface, who co-bred, and trained, Deputed Testamony.
