 I'm not sure who this trainer is but I don't think i've ever seen a trainer that likes to race two year old's as much as she does.  Don't often see people race 2 yr old 3 and 4 times a week. Good on them if its works.

Long time ago there was an old man in Ny who would race his 2 year olds 25 times or MORE and his 3 year olds 40 times on the NYS fair circuits and Monti and Vernon. Once saw him take a horse off the track after racing, remove the bike, loosen the girth and put the horse directly on a trailer. This was at a fair upstate. After checking the results from each track as I always did, I saw the same horse raced at Monti later that evening. Old timers will remember Ralph wore brownish colors with an orange road sign on the back in the triangle shape of a yield sign. Think he had a son named mike. He was ultimately barred from the business for holding back his crop of yearlings with the assistance of a crooked vet. That's how he raced his babies so much. His "2 year olds" were actually 3 and so on

Unaware of that  Bizarre   Do you remember him firsthand and what i am talking about?

[tumbleweed]

Yes,used to fudge the breeding dates. I knew Ralph. He was a retired schoolteacher and flew his own plane. He and his wife crashed in the mountains and were found years later.

You guys dont believe this? Are you serious? I don't make stuff up and many of you compliment my posts. I know for a fact that he held back his babies to race horses vs those a year younger and he STOLE thousands that way and was tossed from the business. i only brought this up because of the Betty Clegg thing and the possible similarity. How else do 2 year olds start racing early April and race 30 times with out coming completely apart. he and his wife may be wonderful people off track and he may have died tragically, but he did what he did.

Thank you for the confirmation Tumbleweed. I dont like when some people call me a liar.

BETTY AND NICK CLEGG = ALLARD FROM THE PRISON CELL. THEY CHANGE THE DATES ON ALL OF THE THREE YEAR OLD HORSES TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY ARE 2 YEARS OLD.

fuguzzi, as far as people go they’re really nice people to me, but I know exactly what you mean with the horses he was like a German staff Sergeant with the horses. 
Great guy, but I wouldn’t give him a fucking mule to train.
