Dexter Dunn will drive Brandon Blvd in the second elimination. James MacDonald picks up the drive behind Odds On Mr Mamba.

Harris has many high caliber horses. The decision could be based on that
-
Both fast horses but Dunn’s decision probably more political. Harris has billionaire owners and a barn full of 500k horses. Even though most of Harris’s horses stink , these owners are going to keep spending huge money for the foreseeable future so he figures to come up with big time horses for Dunn to drive.

dex drives for 20 percent of purse i was recently told,,he was at 10 percent for mamba

what about bartlett
-
Said this in the other thread but surprised Wrenn’s decided on JMac. He has the favorite in the first division for local connections. While not call Zeron or T McCarthy who don’t have drives and will stay with the horse in the final. Both don’t have a top three year so probably stay with you the rest of the year

Wrenn had no say. Dana decided and I would of used Bartlett.

Not a Bartlett fan - he has had a lot of success but I don’t like gunners. Would rather have Scott - knows Mohawk, won’t have to worry about him picking off in the final, and isn’t scared to find you a trip

The way he ran Meshuggah last year.
Almost had the owner in tears.

I know how great my horse is but...

20%? Who pays him that?

No one pays him that much. Would be crazy. 10% tops!
-
agreed
honestly anyone paying more than 5% to any driver is pissing away money
there is enough good drivers to get a good horse to the winners circle
don't continue to inflate these drivers feeling of self importance by giving in to increased %
-
seems incredible to me that zeron is not at mohawk on saturday !!
appears to be driving at the big m on saturday , and even there he does not have a drive in all the races
wtf !!
-
Scottie has always been underrated but shows up big when the money is down. Crazy he doesn’t have any drives at Mohawk.

Tetrick, Zeron and Andrew McCarthy are at Pocono Saturday afternoon for PASS action and only Andrew is also at Mohawk on Saturday night. Todd McCarthy is at Northfield on Saturday night with Captain Albano.

Now that makes sense why JMac was the choice
Its a shame David Miller got hurt last month because it very well could of been him that got the call

Agreed - he doesn’t seem to get the drives that other top drivers get. My guess is he isn’t aggressive enough for most but I don’t think there is anyone I would rather have on an 8-1 shot in a big race. He is so good at picking up a piece on horses that shouldn’t get one

NO driver should get any bonus for driving any horse! As was stated here, there are PLENTY of great drivers out there who could do fine!

It was the obvious choice with no Todd. And David is done up there unless some trotter comes along that is truly special. He can't hang with those guys anymore and he knows it. He will feast on the hacks in Ohio, sleep in his bed nightly and make a damn good living and good for him. He was truly a top five guy for the better part of two decades.

Odds on Mamba has pretty good breeding, especially on the Dam's side (as Honky Tonk is a full sister to Art Major, I believe); however Brandon Blvd (if the two should be considered on a par with eachother, racetrack-wise) will probably become the more valuable sire (if they both go to stud), and aside from any extra %, if Dexter stays with Brandon Blvd. for the rest of this season than he has a good chance of getting at least a lifetime breeding or possibly a syndicate share as a "tip"... as often happens in these situations. I know several drivers whose wealth, over time, was created more by those kinds of situations than by their on-track commissions.
