Default Jonathan Sheppard

From Marty McGree: "LEXINGTON, Ky. - Jonathan Sheppard certainly has flaunted his training skills at the Keeneland spring meet. By sending out Informed Decision to win the Grade 1 Vinery Madison and Forever Together to win the Grade 2 Jenny Wiley - both following fairly lengthy layoffs, no less - Sheppard showed yet again why he has been enshrined in the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame since 1990."

Sheppard is a very good trainer, but wasn't he inducted into the HOF because of the exploits of his steeplechase horses?

Sheppard has trained many leading flat horses in addition to his 'chasers. The man can flat out train, has the patience of Job and has clients that can afford the wait. He trained Storm Cat and With Anticipation, two top horses with career paths that could not have been more different.

I was just being an ass. The guy can't spell the name right yet he's calling him out for what he thinks is a mistake.
