A lot of years ago , drivers at woodbine wouldn't drive for some reason and trainers , grooms anyone that was a licensed driver filled in and the card went off, handle was good and the point proved that the show will go on with or without the catch drivers

Similar happened at Flamboro early 2012 when most of the regulars attended a protest about the govt cancelling the slots.

Gural can kick out anybody he wants whenever he wants, but I'll believe it when it actually happens. Any driver he kicks out would just go to Chester, Pocono or Yonkers and make more money.

Post by: Parked on April 07, 2023, 10:37:07 AM: Is giving a tuck a new rule or just one the judges overlooks as just friends of the click get them and the judges do nothing? Something in rule book about a driver allowing a horse to advance their position.
Ban a driver for a couple weeks and we will see things come into line.
