Title: Bruce Ranger
Post by: Birdfantammy on May 15, 2025, 04:20:19 PM: I have been following Plainridge for past 2 years and I've never seen Ranger struggling to get wins. What's going on? I would always bet him last year . This year I wouln't bet him with someone else's money. only 13 wins seems off for this guy.

I was thinking it was more like 5 also. But it says he is 13/80 ..hard to believe that. and 8 place and 8 show.

I know he wasn't there early on but he's had some zero effort drives. Not like him

That would be his stats including his Maine drives. Biggest con man in harness racing as far as acts like the nicest guy and friends with everyone but a back stabbing trash talker. Like a normal horsemen no fucking good. Had/has t
Driving talent though no doubt. If he continues to struggle he will retire again.

Once they pick off, Ranger will be back winning again. Even Beckwith, who drives power, has cooled off. Driving wins are being spread out
