I see Peter Wrenn is in the bike.  J-Mac can't miss out on driving an 8-1 shot in the sire stakes leg, i guess.  I'm sure Pete is more than capable of beating that field...but to me, a regular driver would be there.  And let's talk about Canadian money not being worth shit.  OOMM is 3-3 including a million-dollar (Canadian) purse and only has $426k(US) on his card so far.  Anyone else have any issue about J-Mac passing on the ISS leg with OOMM?

Nothing burger.

That 8-1 is on the improve.

The big picture is it's going to work out great for the Wrenn's and JMac and they'll be doing a face chat celebrating their Friday.  JMac will be back aboard.

As for bobble, not so promising, his fear, doubt and skepticism has surged through BJ instead of confidence when he needed it most when the competition was stepped up.  He's a stupid prick on a great horse.  If he loses that race and he stays on, fine  ngc3.

You know that for a fact that JMac lost the drive on OOMM?, because you know them and have you asked?, because from an observers point of view doesn't seem like it should be the case, minor league stuff here.

I'm no JMac fan either, he could lose all his drives  ngc3

I'd be fine with OOMM winning all his races!  ;D

I was thinking if this wasn't a mutual decision, that there are a number of good drivers that would love that drive.  If J-Mac blew it off for an average at best Ontario horse, that is a slap in the face.  I have a feeling it was agreed upon, and he will retain the drive...otherwise he would've been there.  Pete is a capable driver and should have no issues.  Bobblehead should be replaced immediately, but by who?  Horse mainly never leaves Canada.

I have a hard time believing James didn't have a call with the Wrenn's and they are onboard. Pete is more than capable and he knows the score. Plus Melanie seem to get on with James rather well from what I saw on the media stuff surrounding the event and in the winners' circle. I highly doubt they will go looking for another driver for the M1 pace.

Yeah no way MacD f-ed that up. I'm sure it was a planned tightener start that didn't necessitate the trip.

What a wretched morning line
Prime example why morning lines are as worthless as tits on a bull ngc3
Just trying to get some betting on the other horses
Interesting though, there is show wagering.. Bridge jumpers perhaps?
Listed post time for OOMM is at 8:57 pm..race 10
Knowing how Hoosier drags that means 10pm  ngc3

He was NEVER the regular driver. Dunn could have had the drive in the NA Cup.

Beau Jangles is not "back" on his home turf, he only raced at one other track for a purse and that was an hour or less away.

OOMM lost while being urged in the stretch.  Swiss Lights had the jump and Pete allowed a 56 and change middle half and couldn’t run him down.  Made the NA Cup winner look average.

You are so right. That 56 half left a lot in the tank for the wire-to-wire winner. The one who just sucked along made the exacta pretty sweet for a field with a 1/9 horse in it.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Actually got caught behind Beaux. He's a big thick dude.
You wouldn't think with that build he would leave as fast as he does. Did you how effortlessly
he blasted to the front. Clear Jug contender if they don't burn him up. tmbz1

I secretly had some last minute place money on him and I went 367, so when BJ backed up of course I was rooting that son of a gun on  ngc3

"Big thick dude", count down Lance....10 9 8... ;D

Is this the kick in the ass to get rid of that idiot bobblehead?  A good driver doesn't let this happen to a horse of this caliber.  Bob fucking sucks and will cost the owners a bunch of money if they don't get rid of him.

I agree and have been observing him closely.

Actions and results aside he says the type thing where you cannot let important interests of yours be in his hands unless you want someone who is not only not confident, but scared.

bobble has fans and friends but this sh!t puts that in it's place and airs on the side of objectivity - because no puts someone at the helm of their important business that says I'm afraid of making a mistake, hurting it:

He went from being a precocious two year old to a head-case as a three year old. Acts like an immature colt in the paddock, bucks in the post parade and now throws himself behind the gate. Doc is as sharp as they come but I'm not sure he's able to fix this issue. i suspect the lasix will be the next move, maybe along with a driver change but not many quality options up there, he isn't getting james to move off Moby and Roy or McNair is both speed junkies and that's not he would be looking for at this stage. I've been around a long time and have never seen a horse implode like this guy, maybe the Teague horse back in the early 2000's.
