How many drivers are at Hawthorne? If a regular driver gets sick or hurt will there be an available driver there to fill in?
-
Smollin coming back soon
-
Are they really that short? Seriously? I wouldn't think this would ever be an issue at a place like Hawthorne. Not that it's a major harness hub today, but I wouldn't guess this would happen.

What would you expect from the shit show at Hawthorne. Total incompetence from top to bottom.
I'm tired of shipping into the rat infested back stretch and finding races for my horses on a condition
sheet that looks like it was put together by someone who has no idea of the current horse population.

That's nothing new. Sad, but not new. The entire debacle of greater Chicago (and IL) racing is sad.

I’ve covered Chicago harness racing for the past 20 years and I can tell you that Tim Carey is an asshole. There are no drivers who care to be bothered so if a listed driver doesn’t show up, they are going to have to scratch the horse. Casey can only drive one horse each race and Steve Searle said he’ll probably just drive his own along with Tom Simmons at 70 years old. Even Nelson Willis is going to start driving again this meet at Hawthorne. Eric P.

Ya Right!
Nelson is 81 (08/22/1943)
Last drive 08/13/2014
Last I saw him he could hardly walk!
-
Anyone remember the circumstances years ago(maybe twenty) at Haw, when a horse was scratched becuse no driver was available to drive it?
-
Ten races this Saturday and only nine on Sunday. Purses are pathetic. Still looks the same a last year.
-
I used to love Hawthorne. It has been totally unwatchable for a long time now. Tim Tetrick, Tony Morgan, Joe Anderson, Brent Holland, Andy Miller, Lavern Hostetler, Dale Hiteman, Jim Dolbee, Daryl Busse, Jerry Graham etc all long gone. :'(
-
You forgot Stan Banks. And Jim Dolbee was and asshole along with Wayne Temple.
-
Lucpark should get his license
-

-
Brian Pelling, Gene Vallandingham, Marc Aubin
-
Jim Miller has told me to let anyone who has ever driven in a park mutuel race is encouraged to apply at Hawthorne because it is true. As of right now they only have 13 licensed drivers. Nelson Willis is going to drive and so is John groth and Doug Graham and Gene gulerman. Eric P

Gilerman doesn't know which end of a horse is which. Davey Mac used to laugh at how that guy got picked off. He once said Vic Pegues was a sharp trainer. ngc3 ngc3 ngc3
WTAF?
-
I had to take my shoes off, but a quick count gave me 17 different drivers on opening night.
-
The Hawthorne drivers colony sucks. Bring back Grandma Burright, Daryl Busse, Eugene Wazak, Marshall Duncan and Dave Maxwell.
