John A Bell III

[Antitrust32]

John A Bell III, the founder of Jonabell Farm (which is now owned by Darley) passed away recently. I searched the internet to find out more about this guy who has been involved in horse racing since the 40's and seems to know a lot.

Anyway, I found this really interesting interview that was done in 1991 and it is really in depth on how the horse business works. Its a good read because many of the topics discussed are still on our minds now.

There are real good questions/answers about the Breeders Cup, medication, training methods, etc.
