Great trainer. I willl always remember him as the guy who trained Society Selection. I was down to my last $200 after a week at Saratoga and I bet it all against Ashado and I bet it on Society Selection. I got over $1300 back. I loved that horse, I always go up for the Test and she won for me that time too earlier in the meet. That Cornelio Velasquez always comes through for me. Like most times I go to Saratoga, it rained on the day SS beat Ashado but it was the one time I didn't care.

I prefer "the Chief" for Jerkens but I guess he will always be the Giant Killer first.
