The name of a farm that owned A LOT of really nice horses in So. Cal - they broke up in like the year 2000 I think.

They gave Shirreffs his first big break and he trained a lot of VERY good horses for them. I believe they gave him Bertrando as a rookie trainer on his own after Frankel refused to train him any more.
