Ogden Mills "Dinny" Phipps, dies at 75

His father, Ogden Phipps, who died in 2002, raced legendary horses like Buckpasser, Easy Goer and Personal Ensign under his own silks — an all-black shirt and a cherry-red cap — to which his son added red cuffs when he, in turn, began running his own horses in the early 1960s.

Phipps helmed the last of the great family stables that once dominated Thoroughbred racing in the United States.

Starting out with a handful of horses, the younger Mr. Phipps developed a breeding operation based on top-quality broodmares stabled at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Ky.

“We are about the fillies: They provide consistency over generations,” he told The New York Times in 2013
