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.

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.
