Wow big night, reminds me of another former Cali trainer I just can remember who though. noway

including one parked the mile from the 8 post

Amazing what good nutrition and outstanding care care accomplish. Good to see someone doing it the old fashion way. Has to be adding something to the feed. My guess is molasses. 8) 8) 8)

last year 410 of his starters finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd out of 652 starts

Just can't be successful without raising red flags. idunno Trainers beware. Don't win too many too quickly. hammerhead1

it had nothing to dow with the training it was the combo of brennan and herrerra that made the horses go ! 8)

All I'm saying is don't they ever learn ? These guy's never had these numbers at Cal Expo noway
Where is Chris H at, maybe he has been sending fish Taco's to New York ? idunno
There have been some of the top trainers in the world who have had a GREAT week with 5 wins.
-
This is a disgrace. Allowing it in New York doesnt say much for that circuit does it. Gural wants no part of him. Good for Jeff. hes making all the proper moves

This guy has been a good trainer on the west coast for many years. California has always had good trainers. Seeing someone have success in New York is nothing new.

If you bet Yonkers, it's your own fault for letting one of his horses beat you. Just like when Pena, Ledford won every race at the Meadowlands, just bet them!!!

And them 3 were straight as an arrow bowdown When I was at Cal Expo before Joe came here I'm
thinking Gilbert was doing his stalls if my memory is correct.
The best horseman to ever come from california was Jim Dennis.

Shelly Goudreau, the Ackerman family, Rick Plano, Jim Dennis, Richard Farrington, Lou Pena.....their have been some great California trainers. Of xourse many if them came from other places originally.

was not aware shelly goudreau was a trainer
agree about dennis and the ackermans
need more info on richard ?
plano and pena speak for themselves
-
I was stabled next to Shelly at Pompano Park. One hell of a trainer!
Rick Plano is without question the best lame-horse trainer I have ever known.
Pena is a great trainer. Whatever anyone might allege, it has never been caught. What they nailed him for is something every horse trainer I have ever known has done since the beginning of time: having the vet treat his horses with stuff the vet knows will not be caught.

rick farrington ?
-
You knew winter was over when Gentleman Jim Dennis returned to Chicago. Always had good classy stock. He trained the first standardbred that I owned and claimed off him.

rick farrington ?
His father I think
-
Herrara was briefly at Raceway Park in the 90s.......he was nothing but class.

I'm not saying he isn't, what I am saying is when you go in and claim off of anybody and make 99%
of your claimed horses go 2-3 seconds faster than anyone else did and win at 40% and above you're
asking for trouble. Just ask Pena. I think Pena got a raw deal but he was training Herrera's horses
until they booted him then GGH took over right where Pena left off. They may just be the greatest
trainers or horse whisperers or put jalapeno peppers up the horses ass but whatever they're doing
the bubble will burst someday, just ask Joe Anderson, Brian Pelling, Eric Ledford, Kesmodel and many
more that have been there. idunno

??? Where did I say anything about not being able to talk about them??? All I said was if you're betting the track bet him period!!!
-
His father I think
Bob Farrington had a brother named Rick, also a trainer-driver. Of course the brother could have been named after the dad, Thought the Farringtons were from Ohio.

Every last one of them.

Richard Farrington (Dick) is Rick's Dad. Brothers to Dick: Rod, Bob an Brad, Sisters- Sue Carpenter & Sis Pew. Papa Farrington was Louie Farrington. Went to school at Rushsylvania Ohio with my father in law. My sister "was" married to Sue Carpenter's son. My grandfather rented an apartment to Bob and Viv at one time.

When I was there in 1982-1985 with Rick Plano, I remember James Grundy, Ross Croghan, Robert Gordon, Roger Stein, Brian & Brett Pelling, Jim Todd, Robert Johnson, Glen Holt (he married Annette Funicello). At that time Lou Pena was a groom for Gary Baker.
