Nice video from Mr. Phillips - I visited Darby Dan Farm in the early 90’s as part of a TOBA organized clinic and saw His Majesty - great historic farm

I love horse racing and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Both had their last glory years in the 1970's. Thanks for this very insightful interview!

I algorithm gifted me (yeah, gifted me😁) with a video from this project yesterday, and I love it. So glad these stories are being told and preserved. Also, I'm hoping for wisdom as I finalize my Derby picks...

Here is one man of integrity in the racing industry! I worked for Darby Dan when His Majesty was still alive and they had to put a cage on him so he wouldn't bite his self with Turkoman, Sunshine Forever, and their Brian's Time paid $57 to win the Florida Derby and put me through my last semester of college and I was flat broke...+ their trainer Lou Rhondinello let me put my pony in one of their stalls at Hialeah when he got a case of impaction from alfalfa hay, that horse had come from Centennial Racetrack and still held the record TimeWise for a mile70 and where butazolidin first started out....when they did the autopsy on him they found out that the butazolidin had ate up his entire intestinal tract...

I worked for Darby Dan's Ohio farm May '89-Dec '90..there were 16 yearlings to break in '89..I was raised in Columbus..so I grew up hearing about Darby Dan and wanted so much to work there as a kid..I was goofing off one day and started choosing which yearlings I felt would grow up to be stakes winners..'89 was my very 1st year in the business..I told John my picks and he said "I hope your right"..I chose 8 out of 16, including Kyle's Our Man. 7out of 8 became stakes winners ..the one that didn't had gotten hurt as a yearling..I had such fun learning while working there!..
