Preakness winner Deputed Testamony dies at 32

Deputed Testamony, winner of the 1983 Preakness Stakesand oldest living winner of a Triple Crown race, died Tuesday morning at Bonita Farm in Darlington.

"He was 32 and lived a good life," Billy Boniface, the farm's manager, wrote in an e-mail. "Up until a few days ago his health was fine but grazing him last night, I could tell he was telling me it was time."

"DT wasn't just a horse...he was family," Boniface added.

In addition to being the oldest Triple Crown winner, Deputed Testamony was the last Maryland bred horse to win the Preakness. He lived his entire life in Harford County.

Deputed Testamony shocked the horse racing world when he won the Preakness as a 14-to-one long shot on a muddy track atPimlico Race Course in Baltimore on May 21, 1983. Jockey Donald Miller guided him down the rain in the final yards of the mile and a three-sixteenths race to win by a head.
