Hall of Fame Director Jerry Racke Dies ATA President in 1996.
He was in Alabama participating in a field trial on Feb. 23 when his horse stepped in a hole and Mr. Racke fell to the ground. A blood clot developed in his brain. He had been hospitalized for a couple of weeks prior to his death. The Alexandria, Kentucky resident was 64. Educator and sports coach, Jerry Racke was one of the finest trapshooters in the United States. He was 64 years old.
Sorry for the late reply, I'm catching up. But no, I didn't hear about it. I wonder where in Alabama he was when he fell.
