Title: Justin Pirillo- New super trainer at the Meadows?
Post by: Dingus on July 25, 2025, 10:34:19 AM
Guy is winning at a 40% clip this year, even racing against Burke.
Prior to this year, was a 17% trainer.
The latest was claiming a trotter for 16 that hadn’t been better than 5th his last 6 starts against the same company.
Won yesterday in 153:2

He reminds me of a trainer there named Sandra Sokol, who all of a sudden became a super trainer at the Meadows a couple years ago.  She left the business this year.

So what’s the common denominator?  Seems the main owners for each trainer are the same people.
Jeffrey Demiere and Howard Balis.  How lucky for them that each trainer they pick each become a super trainer.

Barely heard of him, but 17% before becoming a 'super trainer' overnight is actually pretty good.

Prillo and Presto are the new big guns.

Even the tracks worst trainer can become the best in a very short time when you are juicing the horses to high heaven. Pesto is no stranger at all to using drugs in the horses ! Track  doesn’t  test for the right stuff you can can away with it for quite awhile.

All of a sudden, Pirillo has gone cold.  Last 5 cards at the Meadows, he’s 9-0-0-0

He's known as one of the nicest and hardest working guys in the business. Sokol used to work for him.

And Jeremy Indof is the new John Campbell!

4 wins through 5 today, including the 3rd race with Soolaimon.  The horse had been 17-1 and higher in all starts.  Was at the same level.  Faced horses very similar to those he'd been facing.  Was bet down to $7.00 and won first up easily.

Sandra or John? If the latter, before or after he couldn't get a license for years?

They finally booted Johnny after he got nailed with a cattle prod. He bragged he had his kids working like slaves. Was telling people "You want to win, let me have the horse" Finally, He stabled at the same place as Indoff's, they learned well.

What do you consider significant from small timers like these guys?  Obviously they will have less than a larger operation.  I haven’t looked because I don’t care enough to, but I’m sure their records aren’t squeaky clean!   tmbz1

Meanwhile, Davidson claims Angelo for P T Stable last week, and he runs off the screen in a 12500 claimer in 1:50:0
Prior 3 starts went in 152+
How about that?

Crazy the luck PT Stable has picking trainers.  They seem to get lucky and hit them at their peak form!   tmbz1

I’d be interested in what Jupiter has to say about that.

lets do a hypothetical
if you take a person from some sort of regulating body. and have them tail certain trainers operations 24/7. like they are able to see everything. full visibility. i guarantee their horses would not hold up to the form they are in without monitoring.

Just pure speculation here on my part, but it sounds like Dingus might be a little bit of jealous bitch or is it just me?

You can follow those "special" owners who have the knack to take a putz and make them super trainers, they can do it at any track. Scotty Davidson couldn't train a dog to bark? Seems like they're at all the tracks now. Do you remember Jason and Robert Main
