Title: What's the deal with Gingras not driving at Meadowlands?
Post by: Birdfantammy on March 03, 2025, 08:08:45 PM: I've noticed he drives at Yonkers but hasn't been driving at the big M. There has to be a reason. Would love to know the scoop. I don't like him. He's overrated. IMO ..looks like the jackass that gets in bar fights regularly

He's driven a handful of times at Meadowlands this winter, mainly just Burke's horses. There's no money to made at Meadowlands in the winter so why drive there at all.

no rush to get back full time
these guys make their money from May 1 to first week of November
after that the 4 months are a shut down or slow down at least

What makes you think he's corrupt? You may not like him, but he just won 14 million dollars in purses last year, so he can't be that bad.

Post by: helpplease on March 05, 2025, 09:00:05 AM: When the Meadowlands Championship Meet starts Yannick will be back driving there. Gural has made it clear to the regular drivers that other than stake races, if you want to drive at the Meadowlands you will need to show up for the start of the so called Championship Meet. Not sure what date is considered the start of the Championship Meet?
