Title: Timmy T is absolutely not as good as he used to be
Post by: Checked Up on October 18, 2025, 09:03:41 PM
What a jack off drive on Sylvia tonight! Pressing to the front is sometimes your only option,but he was 2 lengths off the gate when it sprung.  He would have been much better off had he sat parked instead of getting her imo. She would have been much better off if McClure drover her! SMFH.  11.wp 11.wp 11.wp ( and NO,I DIDN’T BET HIM)

Tetrick is old and seem better days but he was one of the greats,     Wayne Gretsky is a bad hockey player these days and im sure of it ,   no point to this post as we all know his timing is off and his hands are not magic these days,    Ricky Henderson was playing in the minor leagues for a few years riding buses and loved the life of a ball player and people were saying he should quit but he did the right thing for ricky

He and Woodbine do not seem to get along.  He has given some of the worst drives of his career at that track.  I would think that trainers are heavily incented (both in terms of money and reputation) to employ the best catch drivers they can AND also are in a position to make a judgement about their skills and this year both Ron Burke and Ake Svanstedt have employed Tim on horses that Ake didn't drive himself (or where he had more than one) or where Burke's "first call" drivers (Yannick, Page, Wrenn) weren't available.  Thus, they certainly feel that Tim is certainly still capable.  The UDRS statistics also bear out that he is doing just fine:
For those who have won more than $2mm in purses (he has about $8mm so far)..here are some of the UDRS numbers for drivers he is ahead of:
Tim Tetrick .329
Chris Page .324 (with a ton of Burke horses, still below TT)
Doug McNair .321
Tyler Buter .319
Louis Roy .316
Todd McCarthy .310
Yannick Gingras .305
Bob McClure .303

What else could he do with R Duchess when the entire field left, he made the finals which is all that matters. He had no chance to win from that post. Tetrick's actually had a much better year this year than last year, he's already equaled his purse earnings from last year of 7.8 million.

Everybody has their run, and Timmy has had his. He's slowed down ever since the Fishman stuff exploded. Look at King. Since Timmy has backed out of the picture.

Tim can still get the job done but I think the horses he drive for Burke would do better with Wrenn.

Timmy got lucky he had his run before the down under boys showed up. Good luck to the new guys with Noel, Brett and Chris winning all the big races.

Tetrick had his run because he was a great driver not because he was lucky. Eventually every great driver is overtaken and phased out by drivers who are more talented, even so, Tetrick is still a very good driver..

Has almost $300,000,000 in career earnings, 12,000+ wins, won almost $8 mil this year.

Luck?

This whole thread was uncalled for.

Sylvia who knows her fucking story, she's done amazing stuff, if he pulled the horse wouldn't be the first time, probably for the obvious reason - she wasn't right, was a bc race.

I gamble I'm the first to call shit out.

I think JMac ruined Chantitty, at least from 8/8 - 10/18/25.

On a per start basis, Timmy not doing as well as the elite drivers. Dunn has 700 less drives but has earned 50% more this Timmy. Gingras has less drives but almost 50% more earnings.

So why not talk about 99% of the drivers too that qualify under the same you fucking ugly tranny faggot cocksucker.

I can show you 20 awesome things in Harness Racing that Timmy has done that Dexter hasn't!

Dunn and Gingras also get to drive better horses than Tetrick for high percentage trainers which Tetrick rarely gets. In my opinion Dunn is the best driver and Todd McCarthy the 2nd best and have earned the drives they get but some people on here act like Tetrick is over the hlll.which he is far from.

Another reason for decline is Dunn and the McCarthy's all drive better than him so he lost a lot of good drives

Horseplop freedom, far be it for me to argue this chap lost some spring in their step (duh  ngc3), not the same ol chap (duh  ngc3), let me kick a guy in the head who can still go out and bring in $10mil or so for his owners and another half mil for his own family doing something he loves.

Have at it.

I want your accomplishment list though, since you're the foremost expert on LEGENDS, talking shit while misspelling words and tard-grammar  tmbz1

Count their age bitchface Timmy has 8 years on DD.

He's broken records in wins and money, he can stop right now.

You beat on a legend because you're an inadequate loser.

I want your accomplishment list Kenny!

Good evening "CULTSTER" and TROLL,

What's it like to show how STUPID/DUMB you really are when you continue to post the nonsense of TDS repeatedly!!  You've been told that TDS is nonsense repeatedly, but you don't comprehend well.  Please get some new material ASAP!  The same broken record being played is BORING!  Please get qualified mental help, ASAP!

TT is not the driver he used to be. That's been a known fact for quite some time. However, part of the reason that will perpetuate is simply because he doesn't have and doesn't get the business or horsepower he used. There's more talent in the room. It happens. It doesn't mean he forgot how to drive. It means his skills are not what they once were AND he doesn't get the drives, have the business, and the opportunities he once did. It doesn't make him incompetent. It doesn't make him a bad driver.

That said, for people who say-----and even worse, believe-----TT's career was based upon luck, sub par or weak talent in the room, because of the backing of one trainer, or anything like that. Well, it's far wiser to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and prove it.

TT is one of the best ever.  He didn’t just wake up one day and forget how to drive a horse.  He has lost many accounts over the years Toscano, Melander, Wallin to name a few…. Seeing how his season started I think he’s rebounded quite well.  Unfortunately, he’s not getting the top horses that he used to.  He picked up some of Burke‘s accounts.  Had a great Lexington meet but lost Brandon Boulevard‘s ride.  None of his drives in the breeders crowd eliminations panned out. We’ll see how finals go.

I think he lost the drive on Brandon Blvd because he was already committed to Frantic Hanover.

I wouldn’t. Complain if Timmy was driving for me. He’s still one of the best but the power has gone to the down under guys now
