Trainer Steve Asmussen’s stable has 180 horses and stretches from coast to coast, notes Ralph Siraco, and it’s no surprise that he blew by Hall of Fame trainer Jack Van Berg’s record of 496 winners in one year on Saturday. “Asmussen is the Wal-Mart of horse race trainers. He is a volume dealer. On Saturday, he started a career-high 30 horses. In one day!” (Las Vegas Sun)
