Rambling Willie and Bob Farrington.

Farrington, who was voted into the Living Hall of Fame in 1979, won 3,163 races in his career as a driver, with his mounts banking more than $9 million.

He is, of course, best remembered as the trainer/driver of the great Rambling Willie, also a Hall of Famer, who was voted into the Immortal category for horses in 1997.
