Also always find the trainer/driver pairings interesting. Not a ton of change this year although it looks like Zeron is Takters first choice again

The best at each track?

The best stake race drivers?

The best grand circuit driver?

A 'loaded' question with many different potential correct answers.

Post by: MCR on June 29, 2026, 08:43:27 AM: My opinion of top 10 is
1 Dexter Dunn
2 Todd Mccarthy
3 James Macdonald
4 Jason Bartlett
5 Yannick Gingras
6 Scott Zeron
7 Andrew Mccarthy
8 Tim Tetrick
9 Ronnie Wrenn Jr (I believe he belongs in top 10)
10 Louis Roy (I'm struggling for 10th guy and he's pretty good)

I dont necessarily rank them in this order but this would be my go to top 10. Dex for sure no doubt is number 1. Doug McNair is another great option
