In American racing there are several Trainers who also bred and owned their charges. The best of this was Hirsch Jacobs. Jacobs bred and traiend horses he owned with long time partner from 1931 thru 1970 Isidor Bieber. Jacobs was leading Trainer in wins from 1933-39, 1941-44 being second in 1940, leading money winnings trainer in 46,60 & 65 and leading breeder from 1964-67. With the success of claiming Stymie in 1941 changed the scope of the breeding program of Beiber-Jacobs stable with the purchse of a farm named Stymie Manor in Maryland. There they bred hickory mares trained by Jacobs to stallions raced by him also. Their breeding program was that was numerically strong but weak in quality until Hail To Reason came along. Then Jacobs was able to swap breeding with the best in Kentucky. Up to that time they had not bred a stakes winner, the first year of breeding in Kentucky came Our John Wm. The second year came Palestinian, $296,424 and sire of another Beiber-Jacobs runner Promised Land,$541,707. Then the avalanche of quality runners came with a flury. In looking at pedigrees of the horses Jacobs bred other than the La Troine mares, another story, almost all of these mares won 5 races or more on the race track and produced runners. Other trainers we wil be talking about are P.G. Johnson and King Leatherbery.
