There's so much funny about this. You say "Brown gets the best racing stock" and then say his horses can't match what Ben Jones got. So Ben Jones got better stock I guess.
Also, comparing horse's records from dramatically different eras is nonsensical. I think we can probably all agree Chad Brown ( along with Todd Pletcher, Steve Asmussen, and a host of others ) would have done well with the three horses you mentioned.
Ben Jones might have been the greatest trainer ever. How would any of us know? He was training seventy plus years ago. Best ever conversations are silly. Great trainers, from different times, can't really compare them.
Winning with horses like Citation and Whirlaway isn't difficult. Most trainers would have done well with them. How did Ben Jones do with the medicore horses he got? We have no way of knowing. We do know what Chad Brown did with Bleeker Street. Ben Jones likely had achievements with horses like that. But we don't know. We weren't around.
