Title: Marcus Miller still horrible as ever almost piled the field up
Post by: MikeAnt on March 10, 2023, 11:19:56 PM
Gural has to tell this kid to stay out of the big m. I mean the poor kid almost stacked up the field tonight in the 14th. How this kid hasn’t gotten hurt is beyond me. Drive all of Erv’s juiced up things and still can’t win a race. Downright pathetic. I guarantee you that LucPark won’t put up with that kid driving his horses. I mean if you gamble at off anytime they switch drivers and take him off to anyone it’s a positive 4 second advantage

That was all Yogi's fault, had every chance to pull the pocket and chose not to and wound up almost running over Marcus.

He's definitely past the learning curve! Not sure how much longer Erv can pacify the owners before they move stock to avoid the problem trips!

Greg peck said Marcus needs to stat away from driving and stick with training
Marcus was horrible when he started driving all of erv’s Cadillacs. You guys remember joe Anderson after he stopped driving and let Ryan take over. He lost half of his owners in about six months because they couldn’t take that kids bad driving. Same thing is going to happen here. These big owners don’t want B or C track drivers learning on their expensive horses. Erv should just give Marcus 20 of his low class horses to go and race at cal expo. Stay away from the professionals.

I agree Marcus isn't very good; but Greg Peck is your example?

Sheridan ran up on him, repeatedly, despite Miller trying to get him off his helmet. The second quarter was not unreasonably slow, esp given the conditions. Marcus may not be a great driver, but I don’t think you can pin this one on him.

Marcus should be fined for setting that pace.  But Sheridan should be able to control his horse.

Never been impressed with Marcus driving skills. I try to avoid him if I have a wager on the race.

Gotta disagree, Harness Racer. Look at final half. Bad conditions.

THIS WASNT MARCUS FAULT BUT HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE A BAD DRIVER WHO JUST NEVER GOT ANY BETTER. HE DRIVES MONSTOR HORSES AND THATS ABOUT THE ONLY TIME HE CAN WIN IS WHEN HE IS MUCH THE BEST. ERV HAS START USING THE TOP GUYS LIKE BURKE AND LET MARCUS HELP OUT AROUND THE BARN AND SHIPPING

They can't find better drivers than Yogi. If you can't keep your horse from trying to run over the horse in front of you, you shouldn't be out there .

I THINK ANYONE WHO SAW THAT RACE KNOWS IT WASNT MARCUS FAULT. BUT I ALSO KNOW ANYONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HARNESS RACING KNOWS THAT MARCUS IS NOT A VERY GOOD DRIVER. HE NEEDS TO THANK GOD THAT HE IS ERV'S SON OTHERWISE HE WOULD DRIVE 10 STARTS PER YEAR. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT HE MIGHT GET BETTER OVER TIME BUT HIS TIME CAME AND WENT. JUST NOTHING MORE THAN A B TRACK DRIVER. PROBABLY A GOOD TRAINER AND THAT MIGHT BE HIS CALLING.

I'LL AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT BUT SO SHOULD MARCUS JUST STICK TO HELPING OUT AROUND THE BARN. HES JUST NOT CUT OUT TO DRIVE HORSES.
