If I had to choose I'd Say Frank Whitely,Charlie Wittingham, Billy Turner and Jack Van Berg
Saeed Bin Suroor wouldn't be worthy of polishing Charlie Whittingham's boots....
Imagine how many of these thread starters you potentially might come up with during that long journey from Louisville to New York.....just sayin'

the support of Paul.

People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

Ron McAnally... for having the patience and skill to train John Henry for six years and be successful at the highest levels.

No arguments with your choice

If you like Ron ... Keep an eye on Sugarinthemorning ... She's a REALLY nice 3 year old filly with a ton of talent who's really coming into her own. She just hit a big growth spurt and is quite the beautiful, yet imposing figure now.
Her last out, after a 3 or 4 month layoff, was very, very impressive!
If you don't know her now ... You soon will!
Nice to see Ron with a very nice, live pony.
Here she is from her last out on March 4th ... Ron is in the Winner's Circle pic ...

He is underappreciated here

"Sunny Jim" Fitzsimmons

For a good reason. Jerkens reputation exceeds his acomplishments.

His horses upset favorites...that is his legacy. And in Jerkens current "reincarnation"
the best horse he has had in recent years was Society Selection.
Did Jerkens ever win the KD, Preak Belmont, Travers, Haskell, a BC race?
Bobby Frankel had a stint in the early 2000s. He was able to keep imports at peak performance.
