Larry stalbaum you guys can say it's the juice but work for him a week and you'll learn more that week then in a lifetime anywhere else
If Stalbaum is the best you know, that says more about you than him dick breath. He's been thrown out of every track he's ever raced at. BTW..When are you going to get that coat hanger removed from your head?

Fred Bradbury mentioned twice. I am surprised. Not by Fred's skill and knowledge but to be the best someone ever knew. I met Fred in 1977 in Aiken, SC. He was long past his prime and working as the track superintendent. Fred was special person to me. He took his time and always came by to see how I was doing. Many people were judgmental of Fred. They would have nothing good to say about his habits and demons. But, everyone would end the conversation with, "despite all that, he is one hell of a hosemen".

Correct. I asked a Saratoga trainer that a while ago. The only thing Larry does he that he has his own “special feed”program. Watch how his horses race in cycles. At least Larry isn’t afraid to drive one compared to some others in the business.

Owned by Saul Finklestone et al.  I think.  That was my era at Roosevelt and Yonkers.

Larry Stahlbaum is pretty good in my book. As a driver he can tell you something after a race.

Also helps that his biggest owner is a well respected vet.
