His death on Monday in Northridge at the age of 90 comes after he visited the race track several months ago, according to trainer Barry Abrams, who co-owns three horses with Klugman. They are offspring of Klugman's broodmare, Sci Fi Kin, who was sold last January.
"He just loved being at the track," Abrams said. "He comes, makes bets and sits all day. That was his life -- horses and show business."
Klugman used to own a 40-acre ranch in Temecula.
In 1980, Jaklin Klugman, owned by Klugman, finished third in the Kentucky Derby behind Genuine Risk and Rumbo.
"The most wonderful time in the world," Klugman said in a 1997 ESPN.com interview.
Loved him as Oscar Madison in the Odd couple... Also as Quincy... R.I.P.
Oh yeah,, If the name Barry Abrams sounds familiar,it because he trained "Guts" before going to the Other(TB) side.
