Frank Generazio was described in The Blood Horse as a retired contractor. He and his wife have campaigned horses in Delaware and New Jersey for at least the last 15 years, mostly homebreds.
The story which I have read in The Form and Blood Horse is that Scott Lake repeatedly approached the Generazios with offers to buy Don Six. "Don's" form was so bad at the time that letting Scott Lake take over training while retaining ownership seemed the way to go, and all parties are looking pretty good right now.
I find it most interesting that Lake moved Don from Belmont to Philly Park once he took over training.
After saddling twelve consecutive losing entries on the inner dirt, Frank Generazio has had 2 winners from his last 12 entries.
I thought "Don" did well on his road trip to Laurel, and echo all previous posts pointing out that 7 furlongs is a little too far for Don and that his early speed was used imprudently.
