He( Lil E. Tee ) wasn't the greatest Derby winner ever, but I do recommend reading his story in the book Derby Champions.

The guy who trained Lil E Tee as a 2yo was stabled next to my father when my father trained horses.

They bought him up after he won a MSW race at Calder by 11.5 lengths.

Lynn Whiting didn't train him as a 2 yr old? I thought his story was a great lesson of good things happen to those who perservere and never give up. The colt could very easily died and no one would have heard of him.

Mike Trivigno trained him at Calder... he was purchased after a big maiden win.

I think Whiting had him near the end of his 2yo season... maybe for a race or two.
