American horse trainer
Francis Marion Taylor (May 9, 1869 - May 22, 1941) was an American Thoroughbred horse racing trainer who trained Nealon and Worth to National Championship honors, the latter winning the 1912 Kentucky Derby.[1] [2] He also trained Charles Edward, a colt that in 1907 set three track records on dirt including a World record.[3] [4] [5]
Among Taylor's wins were two editions of the Suburban Handicap which at the time was the richest and most important race in the United States open to older horses.[6]
Frank Taylor retired from racing in 1934 after suffering a stroke. He died on May 22, 1941, at his residence in Chicago.[7]
