The man is in the Hall Of Fame, basically revolutionized the training game into what we see today, has trained 4 Derby winners, 5 Preakness winners, and at least 2 Belmont winners, is still the all-time leader in Breeders Cup winners, and throw in an Arlington Million for the heck of it......

and people STILL can't spell his name right! Just amazing!
It is common to see Asmussen misspelled as Assmussen, but that might be intentional.
