Been playing Hoosier in lieu of Mohawk where I had been struggling. Tetrick not there
some nights but that aside Marcus has been schooling them. Granted not a real strong
driving colony, but something that I admit and others should, did not anticipate. tmbz1

Got a bad rap out East. Competent driver, nice guy and should do very well at Hoosier with those clowns.
-
hes driving great with out alot of horse power.
. the move back to the midwest was the move
-
MUCH easier driving colony in the Midwest
-
Much easier at Hoosier BUT I wouldn't recommend him trying to break into the Dayton/Miami/ Scioto circuit.
I don't look for even Purple Jesus to dominate there when he returns. Tough group.

It is easier at Hoosier. I like Wilfong and Luna at Hoosier even when Trace is there. It is indeed a tough group here in Ohio and is always underestimated. As far as Miller goes alot of his success will be determined by which accounts he picks up. I agree Marcus is doing well for himself there. tmbz1

He's winning at a 12.6% clip.
Tetrick, DeLong, Luna, Wilfong, Bender all with higher win percentages.
Marcus is right there will Ross and Oosting and Bates.
Schooling? I'm glad I went to a different school.

That was on cue!
Going back to his Chicago days, I'm not sure he wins 10% of close finishes. He just doesn't have that extra little bit that makes winners winners!

IN OHIO IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DRIVING TALENT FUCKTARDS ITS ABOUT THE TRAINERS GASSSSSSS tmbz1

Mucus has been, and always will be, an abomination. If it weren't for daddy, he would be racing at Cal Expo. Hoosier Park's driving colony is the second worst in North America. Kyle Dingdong, Kyle Busted, John Suxall DeLong, Mike (drunk driving, woman beater} Oosting. The only other place in North America where any of the drivers listed would be in the top 5 is HAWTHORNE!!! Is it any wonder why Pete the cheat Wrenn, and Rick the Godfather Plano drive at Hoosier? They're racing against morons. Trace Tetrick can just show up and will win 3, just because the others suck so bad. Hoosier has been plummeting ever since Ohio got slots. That is why Marcus Miller is at Hoosier, because he can't win at a 8% clip anywhere else, in my opinion.
Sincerely, Silent One

Atlee Bender >> Marcus Miller
If you can't see that, you don't know driver talent

What's wrong with Plano? Has some good trotters in his barn .

That is partially true, but you could say that about any track or state in the country.

Seriously: Valid point, Schooling was a poor choice of words. Point I was trying to make is
that I hadn't seen him drive alot as I don't follow those tracks out east that closely and all
I had read here is that he is completely terrible. I don't find that to be the case. He's as good
as most of those drivers you listed. They all are fairly mediocre but have their moments.

Totally down with that. He is serviceable. And yes, they mostly are all fairly mediocre.
Because no one is standing in line to take their job, there is no reason for job improvement. As such, mediocre is stardom! ngc3
What is the percentage of Americans that know harness racing exists? 75 years ago I would have said the majority. Horses were a daily part of people's lives and it was a natural extension. Not to mention, gambling was fairly limited to racing and a few other options. Today, you can gamble on everything. Horses are not a part of people's lives. The number of people that know about harness racing has got to be well under 5% and, if I'm being honest, it may be 2% That's about 7.5 million people. I am not sure it is that high.
Again, I love this shit....really. But, the truth is, it is dying, and because it doesn't seem to care or be doing much to prevent it, well, getting past my passion, the mourning period will be short.
