Vigors trainer lived next door to me in Temple City. Larry Sterling Sr. was his name and Vigors was his only big name horse he ever stabled. We joked about the horses nick name, " Vigors the great white" because he attacked from behind like a shark. He is also known as the last pure white north American champion thoroughbred race horse as the industry no longer lists horses as "white". Let me leave off with this question for race horse loyalists.... What was the name of the greatest (thoroughbred) race horse of all time? If your guess is "The mighty Secretariat", you were very close. He was second. Answer...………….. "Eclipse"! if you don't know who Eclipse is, you don't know horse racing very well.
