If you owned a Hambo contender, who would want to have it ready for this race, in their prime? AKE won 4 trotting races at Pocono yesterday.

AKE if AKE doesnt drive the horse.
-
Just as a TRAINER........a top driver would drive the horse.
-
Ake Svandstet and ne can drive a Hambo winner...Ray Schnittker, Mal Burroughs and Roger Hammer all have.
Marcus Melander will train a Hambo winner one day too
-
Takter, smart enough to put right person up to drive. Ake is more of an egotist than Jimmy ever was.
-
Yeah, but's OK A lot of ego in this business
-
Has to be Ake. Yimmy retired
-
Nancy or Sarah
-
Both sitting on me please Sarah fore, Nancy aft
-
Jimmy all the way!!
-
AKE if AKE doesnt drive the horse.
Right on!!
-
Right on!!

Ake an amzing trainer. If he just trained and used a top-level catch driver, his numbers would be way better.
His horses never use trotting hobbles, no lasix, and can all leave the gate. They also rarely break stride. Has produced some world-class totters and now sires. Plus you never see him pay crazy money for one ( more than $500,000) that turns out to be a dud. Taxter and his daughter can't say that.
He's Truly a master!!!

Melander will be crawling back to Sweden with his tail between his legs shortly.
Think he had 1 win at meadowlands from June on.
-
His horses earned like 6 million dollars last year and he just missed winning the Hambletonian THIS year...
-
Marcus Melander 2023 - 53 wins in 239 starts, 2.7 million earned, just missed in this years Hambo. I doubt he will be running back to Sweden with his rail between his legs anytime soon Love to know who some of these fools posting on here really are ngc3

Fuguzzi, have you ever been employed where you work directly with the general public? There is some goofy dudes out there.

Sure did. Gave up training for 7 years as I saw some of the handwriting on the wall concerning NY ,metro area racing. Did corporate training and management at the food . hospitality level. I know exactly what you are talking about!

MacDonald's grill or Walmart greeter?

Say what you want. Melander has come a long way since 2013, when he was jogging horses for Takter.

You have demonstrated yourself to pretty much be an ass and contribute garbage opinions on here. No need to address you further.

I could be wrong. But awful coincidental. And I really dont believe in coincidence

Has he won a race since thus post?
I see someone bought call of the wild off him and won impressively right away....

has he won a race in the last 6 days? I don't know and don't care. He remains a TOP conditioner of trotters and HIGH money earner per start.

no comment on them selling one for 10 cents on the dollar that ran 4 times for them but wins first start for bob lafoon in 57.2 last quarter in 27?

[/quote Why would I comment. Does getting beat with a marginal trotter at Pocono or somebody improving first out negate melander's career. Of course not. He has amassed almost 9 million in earning past 18 months and just missed winning this year's Hambo due to a miracle trip for Scotty. Melander remains in the top 3 of trotting trainers by every measure.

Date night hanover off the board as the favorite.
Only 700k for her
400k for Cadillac moon
Are you Snyder in denile???

Marcus Melander so far in 2023 248 / 54 42 41 2.7 million earned .367 batting average among the sports highest
Bur according to you, every horse has to "make it" or he is trash. Is that the point?

my point is it MATTERS how much money youve put into gaining that return.
he raced million dollar horses against nw1 all spring. so his udrs is high
its about ROI. NO ONE not even AKE or JIMMY pays more for horse flesh
they win races everyday.
and you can go years without soomeone improving of these operations. yet in the time since this thread started MM hasnt won a race but the one horse he sold wins even though he couldnt keep him flat??
start letting the facts settle in before just beig dumb and arguing a losing battle
-
Gotcha Well, I put my 50 years in and never had a half million dollar baby, so i never had these concerns. thanks for the education. Good luck with your string of baby trotters and your axe to grind against Melander.
-
2 to 1 with tetrick on a 300k yearling. makes a break
3 to 1 in the last in the cheapest divison you can race. doesnt get a check
watch the races
you heard about it all here first

i dont like fakes and phonies and users of people
watch the races
dont let the skewed numbers fool you
lemme know when you see him doing well with horses.
i seee ake and takter win everyday
-
Interestingly if you look at average earnings per start and cumulative earnings given the number of starts each between Nancy Takter and Marcus Melander over the past 2 years, individually and combined, you may be startled. I didn't realize Melander was a fake, phony or user, but I take you at face value and I am sure you know the situation and him better than I do.
Of course Svanstedt is in his own league, but the two aforementioned are quite formidable

Accurate and factual
Melander and Wallen were both kids waving their hands in the air for high priced yearlings both have huge money backers, they get on stage for the big performance but never land the leading role
-
But still Melander bangs out $6 million per year in earnings and if you look closely has a higher average earnings per start 9 a very important ) barometer than Nancy T over the last 3 years. He certainly is a top conditioner of trotters, has a high batting average, would have won the Hambo this year if not for a miracle trip for a rival, so the people that say he will be going to sweden soon with his "tail between his legs" sound foolish, at least to me. that's all. Not trying to fight.

wallin is actually the one who gets the job done of the two

Come on now, Joshua.
You "manage" your father's overnight horses he buys off the track.
You don't know anything about young horses.
You and Pops are buyers of Used Horses, right?
You live in a condo your father owns.
I'm still waiting to be impressed.

Fortunately for me I don't have to worry about what uneducated losers like you think, I just worrry about my stable, which does just fine

I was in Lexington and bought broke and trained babies myself 2 years ago.
And worked for mm before that.
Come say hi at any of the three tracks I'm racing at today or any other day.
Take a lap in the meantime

You are a very fortunate man. You are part of that less than 1% for whom the game is easy.

I work my ass off
It's not easy
But having watched more than half of the harness races since 1993 gives me just a little idea
-
You have all missed the mark. The Greatest Money Making Trainer of this thread should be Greg Peck. Just ask him, he'll tell you so.

LOL 1993 Johnny Come Lately You missed the greatest racetrack, backstretch and racing world that ever existed......Roos evelt Raceway it's a shame too cause given your passion, you would have loved it. Least you started watching in time to see as great a crop of 3 year old pacers as has ever existed

Started with cams card shark amd Riyadh

Duh That's 1993 I was at the LBJ that year and count myself fortunate to have done so. Saw the greatest Jug ever and the Greatest 3 year old field ever assembled in the Jug. it featured arguably the greatest performance still by a 3 year old on a half mile track. Life Sign and his mind boggling victory. As stated earlier i watch that race at least twice a week. Instant mood changer, at least for me.

i made a painiting of life sign in my middle school art classs lol

if you look at his confirmation, he shouldn't even get around a half mile oval. looks like his knees are about 3 inches apart.. Amazing job by Riegle/Campbell

Who would I pick, Ake of Jimmy...hmmmm, I'll have to think about that.
