Tony Morgan was better than Dave when he had to be
Tony was money. When money was down
-
When the money was down, Carmen Alessi was giant. Also, Stalbaum did well too.
-
He may not drove a lot in Chicago but one of the best driver ever to come from the Midwest was Del Insko.

Dave Maxwell and Jim Curran were good
The worst ever was Gerald Longo. That guy was bad

that brown stain couldn't hold Dave's jock seriously tony was probably an all around better trainer/vet but I'd always pick Dave over the stain if ever I needed a win

I agree, chomping on that toothpick the whole time.

Sam Widger was an auto-toss for years
-
It's a tie between Dale Hiteman and Homer Hochstetler.

I didn't follow Chicago racing daily/year-round, meet-to-meet. Stakes races and grand circuit, yes, absolutely. Used to really enjoy going to Chicago. I think from the long-time, regular Chicago guys -- in my personal experience and opinion -- Dave Magee was the "best" overall driver, Tony Morgan may have had the most "talent," and Butch Paisley was the "smartest" driver and best overall horseman. Disclaimer: All three drove for me.

Dave Magee the best. Dale Hiteman the absolute worst I have ever seen in Chicago.

Hiteman was always mixing a salad in the stretched. The salad maker.

Andy Miller
Please take Andy back!!!
-
Best driver in Chicago but he had personal issues. OOsting. Worst regular driver in Chicago History was Pat Berry. Automatic toss unless the other drivers were betting him.

agree on both points
-
Not even close. Anthony Morgan was the greatest driver in Chicago history. Dave Magee good but I even think joe Anderson was better then Magee. The worst was Charlie Eustace

Daryl busse
Daryl was my cab driver years ago when I was in Chicago on business. He knew where all the best whore houses were. Good guy

I didn't know Busse drove a cab? Worst driver on Chicago / East Moline circuit was Lazy John Searle.
