We talked about David Whiteley's passing on Talking Horses Monday. Trained some great horses.

Honest Pleasure crushed at 5-2 by 8 and Soy Numero Uno was, in fact, off the board.

Whiteley quietly told Cordero he was off his horses as Angel dismounted from Waya following a second place finish in the 79 Bowling Green. (Also off the board on Clef 'Dargent for Whiteley earlier) Cordero lost Tiller and Instrument Landing as well. If everyone remembers, that was when the Tony Ciulla race fixing accusations were in full throat and Angel was booed any time he didn't hit the board. DW and Angel shipped West a lot that year to capture major stakes in California with both Waya and Tiller.

No matter, Whitely used Angel later that September on Waya in an allowance race. She finished third to.....John Henry.
