![]() Michelle Yu, an on-air host and reporter with a background training horses who has provided racing analysis for TVG, HRTV and the Breeders' Cup, crushed the Saudi Cup, riding a 15-1 winner, nailed Derma Sotogake to win the UAE Derby and hit the exacta in the Santa Anita Derby, all since February. Cox didn't need to travel far to go a long way. He has won two Eclipse Awards as the country's most outstanding trainer, in 2020 and '21.

Countless times he and his father, Jerry, a forklift driver who loved to place a dollar or three on the races, would take that short four-block walk north on Cliff Avenue, cross Longfield Avenue and arrive at the country's most important horse racing monument. There, in a white one-story ranch-style house at 903 Evelyn Ave., a young Cox grew up as a fan of horses.
