Who cares???
He can't drive for anyone but Burke of Takter. Without them he's a .240 driver at best. Burke bats .340 with all drivers. Takter does the same so it's not Yannick making those horses good. He just goes to front doesn't care about anything and then if the horse is good they win and if not oh well. You put David Miller, Scott Zeron, Dexter Dunn or Tetrick first call behind Burke and Takter every year and they would be DOY each and every yr hands down end of discussion and Yannick wouldn't be in top ten of money earners! Bet
Grismore hatted his time in NY more than John Rocker riding the #7 Flushing train.
There are plenty of others that could be named but yes it is a stupid question and observation. Don't you think he might take a little time off this time of year? What top driver has shown up at M1 other than Miller and Andy McCarthy. For the future Yonkers doesn't even race on Saturdays and there is no way Gingras would switch to YR full time.
I have always felt it's the talent of the horse they sit behind that's more important than the talent of the driver. These top tier horses can be driven successfully by most all the professional drivers.
