Pompano Beach, FL — Theodore S. (Ted) Colby, 78, died suddenly as a result of an accident in Bronxville, N.Y.

Mr. Colby, an accountant by trade, was involved in the Standardbred industry as a breeder and owner for more than 25 years and enjoyed considerable success with I’m Just Special p,1:50.3f ($789,299) and Special Sweetheart p,3,1:50.4 ($860,933), among others.

Trainer Tom Artandi described Mr. Colby as a “real gentleman and extremely generous” and said that all trainers should be lucky enough to have owners as great as he.
