how does someone who has this little experience get a provisional drivers license? what happened to two years as a groom, write and pass the trainer test, get 6 people to vouch for you, etc., or can any box just say I want to drive in the billings and they are good to go?

The people involved want one thing more than anything else.....no outside competition.

If a person were totally "new" to the sport, they would have to jump through every hoop and then some.

If that same person was somehow connected to someone inside, merely show up, and they are in.


Imagine if the people currently involved had to compete with an open pool.   Shit, 9 out of 10 people currently licensed would be replaced in months.

I was a groom for 2 years, then had to go to the usta on Michigan ave in Columbus and pass the written part, then did the rated mile on the track, had 5 trainer/drivers sign for me then i was issued the p license and got turned loose on fair tracks for a year. That was the good old days with the hub rail and inexperienced drivers crashing into each other. Lucky i survived it

You're right, Stable. Its been a while. Q lets you drive qualifiers and fairs and the p gets you on most but not all of the regular tracks. It was a long time before I ever drove at Medowlands.

She has only a Qua/Fair license. That is good for the Billings.

thanks- still you can get one of those after banging in the business for less than a year more less?  you dont need any type of trainers license first ?  Just asking

I believe that would have been a "F" license good at the fairs only. Then one got a "Q" license for qualifiers. Then after X amount of approved drives and time, the Presiding Judge would verify that you were competent enough to be given a "P" license.

 What about Bubby, errr Robert Bonjiourno (the family patriarch)

 The USTA should be writing about the Bonjiournos as a "whole"

 Or Roberts sister? They seem to get into a lot of trouble, with other peoples money...

I've known people who have had NO experience with horses, other than maybe petting, who have gotten trainers and Q/F licenses within 6 months of setting foot on the back side. 

It is largely who you know, and whether or not they want you in or not.
