Title: Bongiorno driver yonkers
Post by: harnessplop on February 25, 2020, 11:57:19 AM: Face the facts, off the pace he is arguable best driver at yonkers. He also get most out of the horse in stretch...have seen this multiple times.

Post by: JL52 on February 25, 2020, 12:43:53 PM: Certainly whips them the most in the stretch. Not great for a horse who has to last the whole season, IMHO

Post by: Mr. Fix-It on February 25, 2020, 12:48:03 PM: Excessive whipping + epo makes them tireless. If you haven't figured that out by now never bet a nickel or race where team Bonjiorno ain't.

Post by: NJ The best on February 25, 2020, 02:36:18 PM: Stratton is only a 9% driver he never tries has talent but ensures he is the best when he goes . The Minister can still make speed would still rather have George than Joe right now.

Joe has really improved over the last couple seasons. Still has a lot to prove if he wants to be considered top 10-15 in the country.

I agree

ALL THE TOP GUYS HAVE GREAT CLIENTS: JASON AND BANCA AND ANDREW HARRIS, STRATTON AND TRITTON AND HUDSON, GEORGE AND BURKE AND SCOTTIE D, DOOBIEDO AND ALLARD, JOE AND JEN, ETC.

Post by: ryansdad on February 25, 2020, 09:39:09 PM: he has definitly gotten better no problem ever using him to drive
Title: Re: Bongiorno driver yonkers
Post by: Harness Stats on February 25, 2020, 10:22:15 PM: Last year he won the Battle of Lake Erie with None Bettor. The Camluck with The Wall and a Breeders Crown with American History, got Alagna's and Burke's respect and just got married. I think he's doing OK
Title: Re: Bongiorno driver yonkers
Post by: NJ The best on February 25, 2020, 10:57:43 PM: Yup he is I just don’t put him ahead of George right now . George is still fearless even at his age still guns them out of there . Joe may get to George’s status but not in the next year or 2 . Stratton who knows with him . The guy never tries first time on anything he sits on . The top guys light them up right off . Timmy T , Dunn , Bartlett , Gingras , Dave Miller etc

STRATTON WILL GIVE ONE A COUPLE OF TIGHTENERS THEN STRIKE, THAT'S HIS M.O.

Title: Re: Bongiorno driver yonkers
Post by: harnessplop on February 26, 2020, 06:21:35 AM: Brent holland and bartlett whip just as much. He wins on many other horses then jenn.

Post by: harnessplop on February 26, 2020, 04:40:26 PM: They are all juicing...what edge does he have. Brennan drove for brittany and still does burke.
