Lot 164: Gridnev, Valerie - Giant Killer

H. Allen Jerkens was not only a successful trainer but a much-respected and beloved racetrack personality. He was sometimes called the “Giant Killer” in recognition of his upset winners such as Onion and Prove Out, both of whom defeated Secretariat, and other winners that defeat the likes of Kelso, Forego, and Buckpasser. He was sometimes called “The Chief” and earned such accolades as the Eclipse Award and induction into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame.
