why is this news..... you have a mediocre driver from Canada and a long shot at best for the Hambo.... and a long article about nothing.

Free PR for his scam stable. Why does he drive most of the horses? Catch drivers would almost assuredly do better in most situations. I can see for the early baby races for him driving but jfc is he bad. I also love how he refers to himself in the 3rd person in the press release.

Say what you will, but he is killing it in Ohio besting some of the big names in the business and has one that will be in the Hambo after only a few years since the start of his operation. I'm not saying there aren't flaws as nothing is perfect, but winning stakes races and getting one in the biggest trotting race of the year are results you can't just blow off.

Had horses for 40 years or better and only got lucky on a couple resulting in a break even or a slight loss. With all the horse they have I would think the whole fucking thing ends in the red so I ask you who the fuck is going to cover the losses.

They have a horse in the Hambo. Which year were you in it?

Drivers Matter!

At DuQuoin my filly was in a final and Holland wasn't able to drive at all that day. I couldn't go down there so I was at the Joliet otb. We were not a favorite to win so it should have been a long drive for nothing.

But as luck would have it Erv gets the great John Campbell to drive Shay.

John Campbell leaves with her and she was a stone cold closer, gets parked every step and gets beat by a nose at the wire by an 18 year old named Tim Tetrick who came from last to first!

Best race by any of my horses EVER! 11.wp

And that would have never happened without the hands of John Campbell. hcx.1

So kudos to MacDonald for deferring to the great David Miller. tmbz1

One of the worst drivers and worst people in the game, whole family is pretty much useless.
