Nice video...I spent many days at Belmont and the A over the years....If Mr Jerkens had a horse entered, you always had to give it a second and 3rd look.
Way back in the early 70s, he had a sprinter named Raise a King who had bad legs, would only run every few months, but Allen would get him ready and he would fire....just one of many amazing training jobs he did over the years.....I will miss this guy!
