When announcing the stallion’s passing, Sheri Matthews said, “More than a horse, he changed our lives forever. Now he is back where he belongs, with the man who believed in him most. One Time Pepto was Jeffrey’s ‘once in a lifetime’ horse and both are woven into many hearts forever.”

The NRCHA offers condolences to Sheri and all of One Time Pepto’s connections.
