Anthony MacDonald shows up tonight and only has 3 drives. All three for the Stable. You would think trainers would put him on their horses. Anyone have any ideas why he doesn't have more drives.
-
Watched him drive for years in Canada.
He stinks as a driver.
James got most of the talent in that family. Mark has done okay, especially when he drove for Casie.
-
Amac is lucky the track is round. Even Twaddle at The Meadows rarely uses him to drive a horse. Amac loves 2 things...go to the front and be 1-5. He drives like he is going to fall out of the bike on the left. Not even an average driver at Northfield and a complete non entity at Scioto
-
he does love being 1-5. its a PR thing. he can tell his owners he has the best horse and what a great trainer/driver he is. when in reality he stinks. absolutely terrible. he gives big money for horses and charges the owners even more money to put these things in non winners races.
-
He's got 4 drives and only 2 are for "The Stable" ngc3

Based on those percentages and money won he would be starving. The Stable Scam must really be working well.

I looked and 3 are from the Stable. Wonder how the "partners" are loving that $140K purchase of Greatest Ending. Horse could not even win n/w of $1500 last week. The stable has more stiffs in the barn that a cemetery!! The reason he keeps doing those you tube training shows and having an open house is that he is quickly running out of sheep to shear..owners are getting wise to his scheme

Incorrect, one of the 3 is owned by the trainer.
-
I am wrong...sorry, I only looked at the trainer.
-
Aside from AMac nickel and dimeing like crazy, last thing I would want is him driving my horse with big money on the line. Why he never uses top catch drivers when he has openly admitted to not being a good driver blows my mind.

A Mac stinks
-
In defense of A. Mac - I've cashed many large $$$ tickets on his drives.
-
Its sad to see Greatest Ending race the way he is. He was 180,000 purchase by AMAC couldn't beat 6,000 claimers last week. Horse should be retired but AMAC keeps ripping off the owners.

he can hit on a price horse as he drives everything very aggressively and sometimes those trips payoff.
-
very bad driver

Al Capone, Bernie Madoff were successful to. Amac has created the perfect harness con game and that's saying something considering the characters in Harness Racing.

Nice homes in 2 countries, New cars, New clothes all the time, family vacations often. He's doing way better then his peers
-
Sam Bankman- Fried had it all to. They all do until the house of cards comes tumbling down. Time is running out on AMAC. Wait till SEC gets a hold of him.

Then try this. Anthony is by far the least ethical scumbag horse person to ever come out of Canada.

He’s a salesman, no doubt, but self-effacing as to his driving ability. And actually, the UDRS posted in this thread is not bad. True story- about 10 years ago I co-owned a NY raceway horse who was Ontario sired. My trainer decided to send him up to AMac for the Grassroots series. This was before The Stable started. Horse raced a few times, garnered one check. Recently, I sat in on a The Stable webinar, and he recalled the horse, said he probably drove him badly all three starts. I told him he only sat behind him once, as Jonathan Drury took him the other two times.
Hey, owning 1% or 5 % is not for me, having owned substantial pieces of horses over 25 years. But if you love horses, and action, and especially if you live where the horses are stabled, I can think of worse ways to spend time and money.

I don’t understand how he thought he could fix GE when the previous trainers couldn’t
-
Look at Atlas Hanover who he bought so he could drive in the Jug. Take a look at Atlas Hanovers record now. People need to understand that with Amac it all about Amac and no one else

Let's see how successful he is in prison orange. It always catches up to them. And it's so blatant. One disgruntled share holder can bring down the house of cards.

Responding to the original question. A Mac stinks as a driver. He was always an automatic toss when he used to attempt to drive at Mohawk. For betting purposes. Just send everything to the front. Throw the lines at them. A cowboy. He won 2 races at Northfield yesterday because the horses are so freaking bad there. He wins the 14th as the favorite. But he couldn’t help but win. The whole field was hopeless plodders. He even ran the horse off its feet in turn 1. Recovered. Eventually found the front just before the 1/2. And jogged. Other than that stroke of luck. He is awful. I would put that 80 million year old dinosaur on my horse Don McKirgian before AMac.
