I think you are referring to a guy we used to call Maine Hills - huge, red bearded, drank beer like water, big sloppy GF   Maybe the name you said was his real name. he was with Clint for a looong time.

Clint was at stabled Vernon quite a few years. Drove a white caddy. He had some really nice horses.

Clint Galbraith is now 86 years old assuming he is still with us. I know he went from the top of the heap to who knows what? After having some incredible horses what drove him to being irrelevant?

Truly you jest
All the above won lots of races with mid level talent horses . Roberts drove  to WIN !!! Dillander did well with trotters . Simpson training driving was more then adequate.
How many wins do you have ???

For a very depressing story on Clint google
" Rodney Farms Breeder of Champion Standardbreds"
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Clint had more than 2 great horses. He may have been a bit miserable but he was a decent horseman. He plain and simply got too big and didnt want to sell his horses for what they were worth for fear than someone would show him up.

In the 80s Clint had a Niatross colt who was a non winner of 2 or 3.  He sold him for next to nothing and three months later this colt finished 2nd to Jate Lobell in the 2 heat Confederation Cup.  All it took was a trainer and vet up to date. It wasn't that hard to show him up

Clint had several unbroken 3 and 4 year olds. There were some renegades in the bunch but he did have some come out as 4 yr old maidens and went on to productive careers.

Real shame that things happened for the Galbraiths the way they did.

Another thing with Clint,. When they Syndicated Niatross after he retried, Clint, Lou Guida and Morty Finder did everything they could to screw Niatross's original owner, Elsie Berger, out of every penny they could.

And, for good reason. Almost every racehorse he sold would go up 2-3 classes in a month and win.

Clint prided himself with statements about his practically non existent vet bills.  Once had nearly 40 horses at Vernon and total vet bill was just over $100.
