However...I've always felt this guy took an edge and was certainly no saint.

He had too much magic with claiming sprinters for too long.

Sorry ... but you don't yield a 16% profit from over 800 starters sending out a parade of short priced horses and getting bet on name ... without having an edge.
It had to be a huge letdown for Amoss when Frank Bernis left. He was Amoss's eyes and ears when it came to evaluating horses to claim or purchase privately.
