He has won just about every honor the game has to offer. In 1933, he piloted Mary Reynolds to victory in the Hambletonian Stakes, richest of all trotting priz- es. He earned a unique place for himself when he drove Rosalind to a well-merited victory in the 1936 renewal of the Hambletonian, and 42 58 62 61 62 .. 81 367 .362 became the first driver to achieve’ two victories in the classic.
