Glyshaw gets deserved recognition after big finish to 2017

When I spoke to trainer Tim Glyshaw the week after Bullards Alley romped home a 10 3/4-length winner in the Grade 1 Pattison Canadian International at Woodbine, he said business hadn't yet received a deserved bump.

Here's to hoping this helps.

Glyshaw posted to Twitter on Monday evening that he had been named Trainer of the Quarter by Trainer Magazine, which also included a multi-page feature on the Kentucky-based conditioner in its latest issue.

The victory for Bullards Alley won Woodbine's turf marked the first Grade 1 score and came a week after Bucchero broke through to give Glyshaw his first Grade 2 victory in Keeneland's Woodford Stakes. Bucchero went on to run fourth in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at 29-1.

It was quite a whirlwind for a trainer whose stable missed time -- and chances to earn money -- while stuck in quarantine earlier this year at New Orleans' Fair Grounds. So it seems this training thing may work out for the Evansville, Ind., native, and former school teacher and coach.

"I really miss coaching basketball," Glyshaw told Trainer Magazine. "But getting to play and work with horses, it doesn't get any better than that. And they don't talk back."
