I can say for sure I'd train him myself......


And because of that, he'd be in BIG trouble!!!

For Turf I would go with Graham Motion and for dirt I would go with Richard Mandella. Also would have to look at Adein O'brein.

I actually really thought about this question on the way home from work today.

I can narrow it done to a few.

The obvious in a Pletcher or Frankel would not be on my list. I don't want to be part of a large stable or ones which have other unmentionable question marks.

If Shug didn't train privately I'd consider him, but its unrealistic he would take my horse.

I really think at this point I'd ask Tagg to train my horse. Upstanding, an excellent trainer. Can win big dance races and has a small stable. Probably the right guy for me after I win the Mega Millions tonight.

I'd definitely give consideration to Jimmy Jerkens. I've been a big fan of Sir Greeley racing every 3 to 4 weeks and being able to compete at stakes level. Now his handling of Corinthian has been extremely refreshing. Very few trainers would have brought Corinthian back in three weeks for the Gulfstream Park Handicap. Even fewer would follow up that G2 win by running in the G3 Excelsior which does nothing for the stallion resume and doesn't really serve as a prep for anything. This guy actually races his horses and if I own a horse I want a horse that actually races regularly and isn't coddled in his stall with 5 to 8 weeks between starts.

A trainer nobody ever thinks about BUT does a fantastic job is Tom Proctor.

Greg Gilchrist seems to be able to find some very good sprinters like Lost in the Fog and Smokey Stover.

Merrill Schrerer
Frank Brothers
Rebecca Maker
Tom Proctor

All of them get horses in the winner circle and spot horses well for owners
