As for Woody, I can't question his skills, he was a master. Fast works right before a race were quite common then and fast works at all are rare now.

I'm glad somebody commented on the post questioning the training skills of Woody Stephens. That was a highlight for me.

Yeah.....he really sucked. He's far and away the luckiest trainer to ever win five straight Belmonts.
