- Horse Racing All-American Futurity
August 27, 2002
A resident of Dewey, Arizona, John Bassett, 53, won his first All American Futurity (G1) in 1999 with champion A Delightful Dasher. Winning last year's race with Ausual Suspect made Bassett one of only seven trainers to win it more than once. A trainer since 1973, when the death of his father, Joe, forced him to take over the family stable, Bassett has trained the winners of 763 races and the earners of more than 10.2 million. His first staked winner, Rebel Della, won the 1973 El Primero del Ano Derby at Los Alamitos. Bassett and his wife Ann, have two daughters, Jamie and Jordan, and one son, Joe.
