Frank Y. Whiteley, Jr.
Frank Yewell Whiteley, Jr. (January 31, 1915 – May 2, 2008) was a Hall of Fame Thoroughbred racehorse trainer.
Born and raised on a farm in Centreville, Maryland, Whiteley grew up around horses and from a very early age was intent on racing them. Developing his skills, by age twenty-one he had embarked on a professional training career in his home state. He retired forty-nine years later having trained some of the most famous American racehorses of the second half of the 20th century.
==American Classics winners==
Whiteley's first Champion was Tom Rolfe, who gave him his first win Classic winner in 1965 when Ron Turcotte rode him to victory in the Preakness Stakes. In 1967, Whitelely had his second Champion in Damascus, who won two more Classics and was voted the 1967 Horse of the Year. Long reticent about talking to the media, leading up to the 1967 Kentucky Derby, Whiteley finally gave in as a result of all the hoopla surrounding Damascus. According to a New York Post newspaper article, "The first question was 'How did Damascus sleep last night?' To which Whiteley replied, 'How the hell would I know? I didn’t sleep with him.' Then he turned and walked back into the barn." ()
