Title: Ronnie Wrenn Jr
Post by: MCR on February 03, 2023, 06:39:56 PM
I'm a huge Merriman fan he has drove many of my horses.  But if Wrenn ever decided to drive daily and the same full schedule as AARON I think Ronnie could give him a major run for the top spot in the country!!! I think both guys are hard workers and can keep horses alive

What Country?

One of the reasons Aaron is top in the country is because of the huge drop off in drivers talent after Aaron, so Wren is exactly where here belongs. The one and only reason to use Wren is if Aaron already has one in a race.

To me Wrenn is just a notched above the other drivers except merriman. Merriman is just a notched down from his earlier days. He has won with a couple of my horses. I would consider using him again.

Im not sure how you are calling Northfield a "c" track when they pay 2nd most purses a year in the United States.

I wouldn't consider it a c track but even if it was a Z track they make a lot more money in a year no wait a month than you do so maybe it isn't them we should be criticizing here. This is what's wrong with harness racing no matter what you do or how well people no wait JEALOUS people want to talk it down

Seriously, what does "2nd most purses in the U.S." mean ?

It means bad horses with bad drivers are racing for a lot of money. Glad I could help.

I thought it was something like that, thanks for the clarification. It my time, we referred tracks like Northfield, etc., to be Bull Rings.

Look at the driver colony at the Meadows, it's a joke. Palone, Merriman,Pants, Wilder then it starts to go downhill fast. Not a lot of talent to pull from local talent pool.

Wrenns better than merriman. Merriman just has more power at Northfield and doesn’t drive as much at the Meadows.

I can't believe indoff has been winning races. A 5 bagger the other day. I'm surprised Monti doesn't do better or get better drives. He's a good kid

I agree Northfield is a step down in the caliber of horses, but I have seen Merriman also drive in some big races at the Meadowlands and did quite well.

Looks like you all got a little of line, check back a few years Ronnie Wrenn was winning more than anybody, then He got married, and now has started a family, just maybe He enjoys spending some time with his family rather than you guys. I have raced against the whole family Ronnie senior, Peter and now Ronnie Jr. This is a true racing family.

Absolutely agree with you and love the fact that he puts family first! He's a good live driver no doubt

   NOT!

   Me thinks that you and Tctrotter, and MCR are part of a Bad Trifecta.  Aaron Merriman just won race # 3,247,601 at Northfield. Does that tell you something?  Maybe a mutual admiration society?                  ;D ;D ;D

Let I said in earlier post I would rather have merriman drive my horses than wrenn. Not that wrenn is a bad driver, but merriman is more experienced and I have seen wrenn make more driving mistakes. Just a personal preference.

Merriman drove my horse at a fair track one time and won. NO other driver including david miller was able to keep this trotter flat and win. That was enough to convinced me he's a good driver.

Not being there the whole year and politics are holding Monti back.
He’s tight with the Betts crew and gets their B stock at least. If he sticks it out for a full year instead of just wintering there he will definitely catch on.

Indoff isn’t terrible but is definitely benefiting from Dirk Simpson being on fire for the past 6 months.

I think wrenn has been getting a lot of burkes drives. Probably comes down to who gets the best horses to drive. Both are good drivers.

Welp Aaron just lost his biggest account at NFLD for at least 60 days. At the very least its going to be interesting.

This is pretty easy for a young driver, get the Burke drives and see how far ya can go, look at Kakaly, How about Chris Page. Just do what Ronnie wants, keep him happy. Ronnie Wrenn Jr can drive with anybody, he wants more of a life.

He also is the driver of choice for brian brown. Page knows he has a good thing going with the burkes. He will do whatever it takes to stay on that gravy train.

Wrenn currently number one in the country! With 150 less drives than Aaron....
