![]() So as not to be accused of redboarding, Jack Van Berg and Jerry Hollandorfer should also be in the Hall.

Low level still doesnt change the fact that he was there every morning and every night and he worked 365 days a year cause thats what they race there.

Les Onaka should be in the Hall of Fame as well. Might as well throw in Mike McDowell because he was a pretty good jockey at Ellis Park. |

My point is, these guys take what's given to them, why shouldn't they be rewarded for it? So they got a bunch of wins with not very good horses. They still won at their level. If Baird never made that Asmussen-like rise from the crap tracks to stardom, he shouldn't deserve to be in the HOF?

![]() Mountaineer Park is a shithole compared to NorCal and Maryland when Leatherbury was at his prime.
But really I say put him in the Hall of Fame. That place is a joke anyways. It's arguably the worst Hall of Fame for any sport on the planet because people in racing don't know how to define greatness. |

![]() Baird also owned all -- or nearly all -- of the winners he trained. So, he's not just the leading all tme trainer for number of wins but it's very likely he is also leading owner for all-time wins (maybe one of the industry-types here have access to a list of historical # of wins by owner).
He is in the HBPA Hall of Fame. |
