Title: Grismore is this really possible
Post by: Cashout on May 13, 2026, 08:49:37 PM
         Are we into May and Grismore is 0 for 2026.   Maybe I’m reading this wrong

He's showing 1 win at Northfield Park for 2026

Grismore Greg 0.9 109 1 7 12 .082 40,078
That in green is his winning %, less than 1%  ngc3

But not 0!  ngc3

How dare you  ngc3

1 / 109  ngc3

He somehow won a race Tuesday evening. I of course tossed him off my ticket. He is absolutely awful. Grismore should just turn his drivers license in.

Remember, Grismore failed with the Burke stock at Yonkers years ago!

Do the current events surprise anyone here on plop?

The article mentioned him and Burke.

Somehow was right.

Got the lead for 5 seconds in the stretch and the wire came at the nick of time that 2 other horses lost by a nose coming on.

A few years shy of 60 and a few thousand drives shy of 60,000.

Good article...

       I remember when he was half way decent but now that I think about it that was 25 years ago.

 He was a big deal in Ohio, must be 25+ years ago

He even did well at Yonkers for several years when he left Ohio.

 Nothing like how well he did in Ohio prior, he was actually revered as a top driver

Come on now, Everyone gets a dry spell every now and then,
 maybe he doesn’t have the stock he’s known to have,  🤷‍♀️ regardless, when he has decent stock, He is very ‘underrated’ and does come through, you can’t deny that, plus he’s not a drugger either, got to give him that 🫤🙄

He held his own with the boys at Northfield in the 90’s with Case and that group of drivers.  If you go back in time, that group was a lot better that what you see at most tracks today in 2026, including the meadowlands!!

Dry spell?

He “flunked out” with the Burke stock at Yonkers when he was closer to his prime!

Age doesn’t help any!

Flunked out? That’s Moronic, no one knows what that situation was about,
There’s only a small few left who do not drug, then it goes down to stock , if you don’t have the stock 🤷‍♀️ plus he drives for trainers who do not drug either, he almost always gets checks  🙄

‘Flunked out’ is an appropriate word. He failed with Burke stock at Yonkers! Look what that barn does year in and year out!

True, he had first call on the Burke stock at Yonkers when they reopened with the Casino and all the welfare money. Not sure how that dissolved but I remember hearing that he was miserable out east and wanted to come home

100 % correct!

Everyone who works has to do their job. Driving horses is even tougher as your performance determines your income!

1 for 109 probably isn’t cutting it on making a decent living today!

His attitude needs to change before anything else will! He constantly rams horses into the outside fence when pulling after things don't go his way. A few years ago he ended the racing career(torn rear suspensory) of a very good Open trotter during a post race tirade. Hopefully he will turn things around before his only priorities in life are a box of of Pop-Tarts and a pint of Hooch!!
