He must have 2 live ones at Chester tomorrow then.

Because he is not going to be on Burke's Dax at Mohawk Saturday because he has double duty at the Meadows and BigM that day.

this will only help Dax's chances Saturday and in the future

Yannick doesn't exactly finesse 2yos

I'd think JMac would be Burke's option for Dax as it's tomorrows 8th him and Gingras are #1, #2.

Did JMac on Saturday go with Moby over Dax?

Here's She's a Bulldog's last race. She was s 4/5, broke finished 9th. Still got a participation check for $1022.

Had the best closing last quarter, and when urged from way back closed like the express train. 151 Flat.

Their last race Moby / JMac the #2:

#1 Jen Tilley got interfered with last race but was looking good for a long shot. Got this week JMac as well.

Davis rode her incredibly well, sad he lost his drive in this instance. He kept that horse away from danger, and likely lost a placing thanks to bulldouche and JMac.

I thought Burke was probably happy with Billy's drive but he got bumped by top guys available

Exactly.

The drive goes to the guy that cost his horse a placing.

No big whoopp for Burke, he's their master, they're not sub-servant to him, there's always another drive for another day.

Being considered back up to JMac is an honor for him, and it's not McNair, Roy, Cullen...

Did burke, et al. pay his expenses to come there, or yannick pay his own way?

We need an exorcism.

Good news though, Del Mar opening day tomorrow.

Will this level of evil follow us across the country, I'll be testing that theory tomorrow! ngc3

just asking--not being sarcastic

Maybe this question should be asked to harness racing travelers when they do this on a weekly basis.

See Brett Beckwith, Braxton Boyd and a few others.
