I can't think of any trainer personable enough to do anything like that now. maybe baffert?

Hi BDW,
You get a special thank you from the Jolleys. Leroy hasn't seen it since he made it and his son Timmy, never saw it before. TJ

Hey TJ,

Tell LeRoy to get the jump on Bold Forbes with Honest Pleasure next time. Giving Cordero an open lead was never a good idea back in the day, and running head-to-head with him wasn't so bright, either.

Jolley trained a lot of good ones for the Firestones (Genuine Risk, most notably), and some other good ones like Manila and Meadow Star. I think he trained Ridan (unless his father did) - I can't remember off hand.

what I don't understand is why do people like him and van berg fall out of grace? it's not like they forgot how to train

Having a pipeline of horses is a must for continual success in this business. No one understood this better then Wayne Lukas and why he was so successful on a commercial level. TP and SA are both at the top of their game because of the pipeline they both have. Both families have supplied these two trainers with horses for years and good horses attract more good horses and on it grows.

Neither VB or Jolley are young any more. Training is a young man's game in many respects with the demands of handling a large stable and having to jet around the country. Nothing easy about it and the older you get the harder it becomes to keep the fire burning.

I'd really like to disagree with that because I can think of guys that trained into their golden years (Stephens, Whittingham, Jerkens is going on 80....), but they handle(d) 40 horses at a time - not 150 or more at 3 or 4 different racetracks. To do that, I agree...a young guy is going to have the energy for it. It doesn't mean that the younger guy is a better trainer...it's just that he's probably more computer literate and more able to bounce from place to place.
