I MUST keep up. Thought Brittain and Stokell were still training but on the other hand I thought Mick Easterby packed up years ago and the current M Easterby was his son.
I WAS aware Brittain couldn't have started training in 1949 but the Wiki article is badly written. |

When Gusty Wind drew off to win the fifth race at Gulfstream on Saturday, Jerry Bozzo broke his own record as the oldest trainer to win a Thoroughbred race.
"It's very gratifying. I wish I could have been there in the winner's circle," said the 97-year-old Bozzo, who watched the victory on his home computer. "That would have pumped me up even more." A graduate of Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bozzo celebrated his 97th birthday on October 25. The retired aeronautical engineer, industrialist, and World War II veteran sold his Pennsylvania bottle manufacturing company in 1969. He has been breeding and training Thoroughbreds in South Florida since the 1970s. |
