Campbell Hits Training Milestone

Published: July 30, 2015 11:32 am EDT

Trainer Jim Campbell posted the 1,000th winner of his career when Broadway Jo Ell won the fourth race on Wednesday (July 29) at Harrah's Philadelphia.

The 53-year-old Campbell has trained many top horses in his career, including Run The Table, Tagliabue, Galleria and Broadway Hall.

The outstanding pacer Run The Table won 14 times as a sophomore in 1987 and earned $904,022. The son of Landslide retired at the conclusion of the 1988 racing season with 20 lifetime victories and earnings of $1,171,053 to his credit.

In 1995, Tagliabue, a three-year-old son of Super Bowl, had five wins and five seconds in 13 starts, banking $869,600. Tagliabue’s biggest moment came when he scored in 1:54.4 in the $1 million Hambletonian final. What made that moment even more special for Jim was that his brother, John, was in the sulky on that afternoon. Tagliabue also won a $117,550 division of the Zweig Memorial and was named as Three-Year-Old Colt Trotter of the Year in the post-season balloting.

Galleria earned Dan Patch Awards in both 1998 and 1999 as the top female in her class. As a three-year-old in 1998, the daughter of Artsplace was in the money in each of her 15 season’s starts, while banking $925,132. Her biggest victories came in the $480,000 Breeders Crown final (in a world record time of 1:51), the $400,500 Mistletoe Shalee final, the $250,000 Breeders Filly Pace final, the $200,000 Miss New Jersey final (in a then world record of 1:50.1), and the $151,787 Shady Daisy Pace.

Galleria got off to a late start during her four-year-old campaign in 1999, but came on strong at the end and easily captured her second straight Dan Patch Award. She was in the money in 13 of her 14 starts, registering five wins and earnings of $386,835. She captured the $275,000 Classic Distaff final; the $129,000 Roses Are Red final; and a $100,000 Mares Invitational Pace on Hambletonian Day at The Meadowlands (in 1:49.1, at the time the fastest mile ever by a female).

The trotting colt Broadway Hall was a perfect nine-for-nine as a freshman in 2002 on his way to a Dan Patch Award. Among his victories was the Breeders Crown at Woodbine and the Kentucky Sire Stakes final at The Red Mile.

Campbell's pupils have banked $35,942,949 in his career.
