Most tracks have very good purses, and the drivers make a nice living. Do drivers still get tips?

I send money with my trainer to do this as I am not local. He shares the wealth I sent with the driver.

Talk about driver tips, midway thru her 3-year-old season, Dexter Dunn was given 5% ownership of Twin B Joe Fresh.

Here is the answer: it's called greasing the wheel!
If your driver has a choice of who to drive in a race, the driver will take your horse if they are both equal in talent!

An interesting story for 1 and all.
When the first horse I owned won her first race in 2004, I went to the barns at pompano park (RIP) to meet my driver Walter Ross Jr. I tipped him $ 50 for the drive. I literally had to push the money in his hands. He wouldn’t take it. I told him to take his wife to dinner.

Seriously now, go and ask someone who has owned grand circuit horses. They could tell you the truth on this.

I guess I was cheap 20 years ago with $ 50!

Back in the 70's and 80's when you could still easily pull $30,000-$40,000 out of a race, as a bettor, without owning the pool, there were many larger tips given.

This was probably true for Yonkers and Roosevelt.
how did Herve die broke between cashing tickets and tips?
