Post by: Fuguzzi on June 04, 2023, 11:11:30 PM
Tell me why Luc Ouellette is not the Hall of Fame when Chris Boring and Billy Popfinger are.

He gets in the HOF before Wally Case, whom he played second fiddle to for years, the HOF means absolutely nothing.

Until Case gets in, LucyO and her bad back can suck my dick!  ;D

Luc could definitely make a horse go, but decided to focus a lot more on his family and went North.  He drove for me ONCE, and the horse came back "cut".. so he didn't get back up on another one of mine.  In no particular order (because they never had enough drives for it to go beyond "small sample size") the best drivers for my horses (all trotters and one pacer that Herve drove) were Bennie Webster, John Campbell, Walter Case, Ron Waples and Mike Gagliardi.

Interesting. How was Mike Gagliardi a good choice to drive your trotters?

Mike got along extremely well (at the Meadowlands) with one of my better trotters who was usually in deep (as we did not play "the classification game", but just raced to win).  He would be careful to only use him tactically and won twice coming up the rail (once at a huge price, although I did not have a penny on the horse, and don't think Mike did either...wrong horse in the wrong race to bet.)  He never hurt one of my horses and was always polite.  The first drive was sort of an accident as Benny took a night off and he took over for Benny and got along well; Benny was an aggressive driver, and overdrove this particular horse.  Benny was much better on pacers than trotters overall, but was also the easiest to work with when it came to putting money down on a horse.

He drove with the best in his time at the big m. Top driver where ever he drove, 1st time Luc was gold. Mike told me to use him on certain horses, all trotters. He never failed me. Got me a NYSS final win at Jonkers. Smart to leave, has a great life, spends time with family and enjoys life. Deserves to be in HOF.

He comes across as a good guy and he certainly has great stats. I think he is HOF material. tmbz1

He's a Walter Case copycat who hurt his back trying to clone him.  Family didn't draw him away from the game. 

FUCK the HOF until Walter Case Jr. is inducted!   tmbz1

When Waples had the best horse, he drove him like the best horse.  Waples was also very patient in many of his major wins as he let the others do all the work and he reaped all the rewards!

There are many that HOF should honor with accolades. There are also some, that will remain nameless  in the HOF that aren't so deserving of recognition.
