Four Footed Fotos
Jim McMullen is 45 years old and was born in Chicago Illinois. He was brought into racing by his uncle; Hall of Fame trainer
P.G. Johnson who won the 2002 Breeder's Cup Classic with Volponi. Jim worked summers for PG, and after college at the
University of Kentucky became assistant trainer to the legendary conditioner.
After 7 years under PG, Jim went to work as top man to Classic winning trainer Elliott Walden.
Success came quick for Jim after striking out on his own, as one of the first horses he bought Moment's Best became the
winner of the $100,000 Sportsman's Park Budweiser Breeder's Cup. Quite a feat for a horse bought for a mere 5,000 dollars!
One of Jim's proudest achievements would have to be Daisies And Nites, who won 7 out of 14 under Jim's tutelage
culminating in 3 straight stakes.
In 2007, Jim wintered at the Fair Grounds. He left his mark by eclipsing the $200,000 Fair Grounds Breeder's Cup Handicap
with Cloudy's Knight, and narrowly missing in the $500,000 Mervin Muntz handicap.
Currently Jim is training at Arlington Park with a 25% win record and is now responsible for training the BRSLLC’s stable horses.
