This is, I believe, AB "Bull" Hancock who was one of the most influential owners in the history if thoroughbred racing. Under his guidance Claiborne Farm, their family farm,owned, raced and bred some of the seminal horses of the 20th century. Secreteriat was a product of one of his sires.
Accoriding to Wiki, he fell ill while hunting in Scotland and subsequently died at Vanderbilt University Med Center. His wife established the Cancer Center at Vanderbilt in his honor.
He was a sportsman of the first order. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that he was hunting with the Parkers on his final hunt.
