Bill Hartack found dead at age 74

Rode Northern Dancer, visited Woodbine this summer

From Daily Racing Form

By MARCUS HERSH

The legendary Hall of Fame jockey Bill Hartack died suddenly on Monday at 74.

On Monday evening, Hartack was found dead in a cabin at a camp near the town of Freer, in southern Texas, where he journeys each winter to hunt. Hartack’s remains have been taken to a coroner, and the cause of his death has yet to be determined, but it is suspected he died of a heart attack, according to the trainer Mike Stidham.

The camp where Hartack was found is the property of the Thoroughbred owner Greg Goodman, a friend and client of Stidham's, whose father, George, was Hartack’s agent at the end of Hartack's career.

Hartack was the first of his hunting group to arrive this season, but hadn't been seen since sometime Sunday. Security personnel were called Monday evening to check on Hartack, at which time his body was discovered.

Hartack would have been 75 on Dec. 9. He has remained active in racing as a steward, and recently finished working the race meet at Louisiana Downs.

Hartack was at Woodbine for the Northern Dancer Stakes this summer and attended several press events and was even a guest at one of seminars. He was gracious and entertaining. His stories about Northern Dancer were captivating.
