Life After Racing
When Stig H. Johansson in the summer of 2005 turned 60, Stall Kalas, gave him Victory Tilly once the horse had retired. Thus, since retiring, Victory Tilly has spent his days at Johansson's farm Stora Alby, outside Stockholm.
In March 2007, Johansson announced that there were plans to build a Victory Tilly museum at Stora Alby, where guests can come and watch, among other things, the top trotters trophies and blankets, as well as pay Victory Tilly himself a visit.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or racing:
“There’s a quality of legend about freaks. Like a person in a fairy tale who stops you and demands that you answer a riddle. Most people go through life dreading they’ll have a traumatic experience. Freaks were born with their trauma. They’ve already passed their test in life. They’re aristocrats.”
—Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
“Upscale people are fixated with food simply because they are now able to eat so much of it without getting fat, and the reason they don’t get fat is that they maintain a profligate level of calorie expenditure. The very same people whose evenings begin with melted goat’s cheese ... get up at dawn to run, break for a mid-morning aerobics class, and watch the evening news while racing on a stationary bicycle.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
