In the normal course of business, happen to come across the website for the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery website, to get an address. In looking at their virtual tour thru the cemetery, came across the resting place for Thomas Murphy, one of the greatest to sit in a bike and trained a Kentucky Derby Winner to boot! Interesting article that I thought you would enjoy:

BIG typo in the first sentance...

"Born in 1988", Thomas Murphy excelled as a top driver-trainer of Standardbreds, and was considered to be one of the most accomplished horsemen of his era. Murphy's career extended from the turn of the century until he retired for the first time in 1927.

Yeah, I saw that, guess the proof reader was having a bad day.
