between the two
if you i had to make a choice only between the two trainers.
Patterson would be my choice hands down. I'm a trainer in the Bay Area for 20+ years and have seen both of your "candidates" work/results. I know both only professionally, so i don't have any prejudices either way.
Patterson has the advantage of experience. He has a patient way with his stock and in Northern California that's big. He attempts to prove his stock and improve his stock. He has an honest reputation and is respected by the jockey colony....another big plus in Northern California. Seldom do his horses get claimed. Yet his % is very good.
Ordonez seems nice, but inexperienced. Her stock runs well for the most part, but many of her wins have come via the all too frequent drop in class. She's lost many in her short training career by way of the claim..and a good percentage of them have come back to win for others? To her credit, she also has an honest reputation.

Thank you so much for saying that abut Poppa Dennis. He is such a good horseman!
We his family appeciate your nice (and true) words. He is so dedicated and thorough. Even on days when he's sick you can barely drag him out of the barn at night.
