CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT: Bo Nixon ’50 and his son Ted ’74 celebrated after Justify, a thoroughbred colt they co-own with nine others, achieved racing’s most prestigious honor: the Triple Crown. Having already won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes, Justify is pictured not long after he triumphed in the Belmont Stakes June 9. “I suspect that Justify will be the 2018 Horse of the Year,” says Ted. “But for Dad and me, he is horse of a lifetime.”
