LOS ANGELES — Horse racing is all about the Triple Crown, three races for 3-year-olds held over a five-week period. The vast majority of trainers never get there, but it doesn't keep them from trying.
Ed Moger Jr., 67, has been a trainer for more than four decades. He's had more than 15,000 starts and is approaching 2,000 winners. His horses have won more than $36 million. But he's never started a horse in either the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes or Belmont Stakes.
Until this year.
