I will take the only IL. trainer to be asked to write a chapter on training for "The Harness Racing Bible".
(Care and Training of The Trotter and Pacer).

Excellent point.

I never followed IL racing year-round, but it's still a touch call.....
I think I would start with Tex Moats.....and then it gets tough, LOL.

Tony Morgan oversaw multiple barns at 1 time:
Schulz
Scholz
Grevengoed
Hansen
Henert
He knew more about the care of a pacer or trotter than anyone I did business with.
Doug Hamilton

I guess I'd like to add Joe Anderson to my top three, but for me he went to the "dark side" so to speak, so I'm conflicted there. I never knew him very well, but I always thought Tom Simmons was an excellent horsemen, trainer, etc. He might have been far better known as a driver, but Joe Marsh Jr. was an excellent horseman. Hard to keep it to three. Too many excellent horsemen would be left off.

Donna Lee, AKA Tony's Mom. Angie Affrunti, a very good horsewoman. Biggest underachiever, Robin "The Hat" Schadt.
