Seriously. I understand that you wouldnt want to put it out on the board though if it was something sensitive.

I just find it fascinating that one barn can produce so many top trainers and it would be interesting to know what brought that barn down from the top.

It was a tough time for Wayne personally ( he has had 5 wives), klein leaving the business hurt alot, his assistants that left took clients with them and the game itself started to adapt to changes that he himself brought about. When he hit the scene virtually none of the big trainers were a national presense. Everyone was regional and even the top trainers had way fewer horses under their care than now. He made it acceptable for assistants to train owners good horses because essentially that is who is doing the actual training in outfits with multiple divisions. The time that I worked there we simply didnt have many really good horses.
