JACK VAN BERG GOES TO HOSPITAL

Postby louis finochio » Mon Aug 21, 2006 1:26 pm

JVB couldnt breathe this morning and went to the hospital for tests.

Remember JVB in your prayers. Jack is one of my favorite trainers I always call him country with that John Wayne walk.

Thank you for telling us, Louis!. He's really one of the giants in horseracing. If anyone out there doesn't know, he trained the great Alysheba. I passed the info along to friends of mine in PA, who know JVB. Please let us know if you have any updates on his condition. Many, many prayers going out to this great man.

Frank Lyons just recently had a nice interview with him on TVG's
"legends" series.
He is a great horseman

JVB went back to work today and is feeling his oats. Best Wishes JVB, your friend Louis.

Jack is just getting old is all, we all fall apart eventually but heres hoping that Jack sticks around for a while yet! He is an all around gentleman and a lot of fun with so much experience under his belt. I saw him 18 years ago at a Santa Ynez horsemans evening alongside John Gosden, it was a fun night. Keep going Jack and please write a book if you already have not.

JVB has always reminded me of John Wayne. He is a legend in his own right.

Steve JVB groom told me that Jack is going to be training a better class of TB.

JVB deserves a better class of TB, as Jack has paid his dues with claimers and will train those class TB to the max. Go get em JVB.

JVB is as tough as John Wayne, he is back working like the devil. Nothing seems to slow JVB down. His son Tim helps JVB when Jack is down.
