Vester Richard "Tennessee" Wright (January 21, 1921 - July 24, 1966) was an American Champion Thoroughbred horse racing trainer who led all trainers in the United States in wins four times.
His best runner was probably Roman Line who won the 1961 Breeders' Futurity then in 1962 the Forerunner and Derby Trial Stakes before finishing second in the Kentucky Derby and third in the Preakness Stakes.
On July 24, 1966, Tennessee Wright's promising career was cut short when he suffered a heart attack and died at age forty-five.
In 1991, he was inducted posthumously into the Fair Grounds Racing Hall of Fame.
