He does suck. close to a complete toss. Would be an easier call if these trainers would stop putting him on decent horses.
Actually hit him with a nice horse to complete a late pic4 fairly recently. Beaton trained  To be clear though, HE SUCKS.

Couldn't even catch him at Kawartha today, which had some stakes.  The regular driver out doing something better as I was following the horses.  2 speeds on the dude, whipping and slashing / and going backwards.  Doesn't rate a horse, fucking joke.

Let's keep him driving then, and pound the horse when he launches off!

Auciello used A Max exclusively until he didn’t, I wouldn’t be surprised if he ditched Drury, would get way better results using Sam Fillion exclusively or using any drivers not in the races his horses are in.

I don't think Drury has the focus capacity to become a trainer,or a track executive, or commentator. 

From his own Twitter page (kinda dumb):

"Ontario Harness Racing: Dead Or alive?? Are Standardbred Race Horses high performance athletes, or is Harness Racing an outdoor recreational sport?"

6 drives listed for tomorrow and Tuesday at the Show out of 20.  $30 mil+ in earnings.  Dude, we all go through coolers, but this is a fucking career slump now pointing at a 90 degree down angle trajectory - figure it the fuck out quick because you're burning way more money than anyone is usually allowed!

He is not a good driver. As Bitter Truth sais pretty much an auto toss. He has a .156 UDRS at Mohawk this year. Once Fillion and Travis make the permanent move to Mohawk.. he gone.

IHe needs a early speed type....I really can't recall him winning off cover...minus a pocket trip......I HAVE SEEN HIM BRING IN SOME SPEED TYPES THAT WERE PROBABLY THE BESTIN RACE....AT 7/1 OR SO
JMAC...ROY...MCNA IR...HENRY...THEY GET LIVE HORSES ALL THE TIME
DRURY GETS PLOOPERS......CAN T MOW A KAWN WITH SCISSORS

Also...when the big pick 5 's hit   etc....Oh there's Drury knocking a 17/1 shot in.....wow should of used him......So.  The Drurys often kill the pocket...$$$..... IF HES GOT A LIVE HORSE THATS GOT EARLY SPEED THE PRICE PROBABLY BE UP.....TAKE THE MONEY....YOU KNOW WHEN HES GOT A LIVE ONE ......PAYS

ALSO GIVE THE GUY A LITTLE BREAK....MISTER MAGIC ISNT JUST PULLING DRURY AROUND......

If you claim to be a superstar handicapper let's examine a couple of facts.

He's 7-1 for obviously reasons his performance, record.  He gets bottom shelf because of the same.

Catch drivers earn it, fuck his lawn and his scissors, he starts popping consistently and his drives improve and he'll have choice at times.

This is elementary logic.

If you want to be unique sound unique, bring something unique to the table, it is not mandatory, writing unique like that crap of spacing and caps is fucking stupid and annoying but carry on, and welcome to Horseplop!   ;D

The Drurys are probably the nicest people in the game and pee wee Barry Drury won well well over 2 races a year as 9one year he won 5-6 races on Highland Jet and many on Eternal Star and others but Ron Waples other catch driver Dave Furness was the 1-3 winners a year and Feagan had Kerry Davies as most regular drivers used non talent when not around,  Stead used Curt Bond and Kovacs but i can not remember who Brown used,  Feagan also used Gary Feagan also and he would go years without a win.

Beaton was his last like 10 days ago, Steacy, Riley he drives, but for the most part yeh I'd guess, but so few who wants to count.

They're all cheating humps this one appears to try, has no finesse, no connection with the the animal athlete, it's a fucking standardbred not an electronic bull.

the CAW action at Mohawk is getting worse .... killing the whole experience for me

so I stopped almost all betting and stopped entering tournament games there

Does CAW cause a driver to drive a live horse in a statistically losing manner, bury themself and refuse to pull, but 20 seconds later looking to thread a needle with a sulky, or just stiff?

I hate them, the track, standardbred canada and agco when it comes to MOHAWK!

By now they surely know, not that we're some big deal, but the word of mouth is strong enough.

Soon, I'll be done talking about it!   ;D

Yes they do.. the ONLY reason I ever play there is #1 it's a steaks night.. breeders crown is there this year. #2  the early pick 5 guaranteed pools. You cannot get that kind of pick 5 pool at any other harness track.  CAW has gotten worse, and it is starting to spread everywhere like a fungus. The bigger t- bred tracks it's not as noticeable.. but watch a race at Finger Lakes tomorrow.. it's horrible.

Post by: Papillon on August 17, 2025, 10:46:48 PM
sad part of this saga is that JMac is clearly the best driver at Mohawk with Roy a distant 2nd

possibly a motivated Jody Jamieson(which isn't often) on occasion, when his father has a nice young horse--then JJ is actually better under those conditions

Correct nothing will happen to JMAC with the Chantilly non try. JJ just seems disinterested most of the time. I never cared for Trevor. McNair or bobble is the 3rd best there.. jmho

Can you imagine if the T Breds had 6 furlong races go 25   50.3   and the last quarter in 21.4 or and type of event went the end of an event everyone is fresh and at their best the era of jackie Mo and Ron Pierce AND john Cambell and others moving and moving and moving and you never saw 125 and a 151.3 finish time as first halfs were run tough,  At the pro bowl in football the best players in the world are showcased and no one puts out 100 percent and that game always has no crowd with the poorest audience watching football,  unless you are betting the game its hard to watch.     In any event action brings in crowds and almost everyone i know does not play these days.
