Why Does Jimmy Pants Get Any Catch Drives??
« on: April 14, 2021, 10:07:22 AM »
Jimmy Pants is currently batting .242 at The Meadows and .199 at Pocono Downs. Why does Tanneyhill and Oaks or anyone besides his wife put him up??? Is there a driver shortage there?

I don't think a total of 3 drives in that series qualifies as lowering the percentage in any significant way.  He didn't even race after the first week.

His percentage is lower because he drove some horses in the Levy at Yonkers that CLEARLY DIDN’T BELONG! I don’t mind playing him at all-brings in some nice “prices”!!

Okay, So I looked up his last 10 years and his average UDRS over that time is a whopping .236. The numbers don't lie.

Did you look up he has over 8000 wins genius . He has driven for a bunch of clown trainers over the years including the ones he currently drives for.   Whats there training  percentage. Balcerak, Earhart, Good, krenitsky. Definitely tops in the game. Hard to win a bunch driving that crap.How many wins do you have?

Thank you for acknowledging my above average IQ. I only have 2 wins in 22 starts lifetime. I had a couple of cheap horses and drove some rats at the county fairs. While 8,041 wins is a lot, it took him 56,560 starts to do it for a lifetime UDR of .261. Don't get me wrong, Jimmy is a hard worker (I used to work for him) and a pretty good trainer but if he drives for a "bunch of clown trainers" as you put it, thats on him.

After the elite guys, you're forced to put up a B category guy,  not an option you like!  Can get the horse around the track safely and rarely does anything dangerous!  8,000 wins is very commendable but not the feat it was 20 years ago and there are certainly a lot of other B drivers I would use if they were available!

Average batting average for a 9 horse field is 209 so he is doing better than average driving below average mounts.

Just love doing the broadcast. Shuley, Chumlee, Paddock have gotten used to the holier than thou attitude. We only work on the show, because we get paid. Dealing with Ringo is a different story.
