Ronnie Wrenn Jr to me is better than Merrriman and doesn't get the pub that Aaron does. Todd and Andy
McCarthy are both very good.

Absolutely Jim Morrill Jr. He brought in quite a few long shots in important Meadowlands races several decades ago. Seems content now to be a big fish in a small pond.

I've heard the same. I won't bet wherever he's racing.

JM was a mess when he left the Meadowlands for western NY. On any given day you didn’t know what JM personality would show up. I saw this first hand.

A couple of years before he built his stable of rich owners and fast horses, Joe Anderson was kicking ass in Chicago as a catch driver.  I followed ChiTown racing very closely from the mid 1960s until the greedy track owners and crooked politicians killed it.  I never saw anything like what Little Joe did before or since.   He brought in long shot after long shot for all kinds of trainers.  Horses would just GO for him.  He could make speed with a three legged donkey.  It's no wonder he dominated once he got all those good ones to train himself (Falcon Dakota, Big Tom, The Big Dog, Million Dollar Bye, Ohyouprettything, Popcorn Penny, Pacific Flight N, No Control N, Vance Romance, Jules Jodoin, Next Bonus A, Columbia Nipper, Duncan MacLeod, Droppin'thehammer, etc).
