I will second that.
The only IL. trainer to be asked to help write "The Book" on training.
"Care and Training of The Trotter and Pacer".
Chapter 9 (the chapter that Bob wrote)
Vita Flash
Dusty H Forbes
Dancing David
Jeff Abby
Barney Blackstone
Oh Yes and some old horse that God Loved

Tomorrow, September 1 is exactly 49 years to the day that M1 opened and Bob and Willie beat Nero and Young Quinn in the first M1 Invitational. Time 1:55.3  I was there and it was amazing.

Way to go
