John W. Rogers (1852 - February 25, 1908) was one of the preeminent trainers in Thoroughbred racing of his era who trained eleven National Champion horses that earned thirteen National Championships. John Rogers was part of the 1955 inaugural class inducted into the United States' National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.
The early success of Rogers led to him being sought after by some of the best racing stables in the country. In addition to horses he owned and raced for himself or with a partner, the prominent owners he trained for included Samuel S. Brown, Edward C. Corrigan, William C. Whitney and his son, Harry Payne Whitney.
