He won the Pacing Derby in CA last night.
He's on Burke's short list.
He's doing great, make tons of dough, 90%+ of the drivers out there wish they had his talent and opportunities.
You know all this why strike up a thread we all know the answers.
Because they are facts.

Last year with limited live drives in Grand Circuit races he still managed to win 9.8 million in purses, good for 4th place. On pace for 10 million this year.

One guy brought up how he wasn't getting drives in the big races, looked overweight, wasn't even on their top 10 list of drivers. How soon they forget and where are they now. He's been driving fulltime in Kentucky now too where he wasn't the past 2 years and has picked up alot of live drives.

He'll be 45 in 2 months.
Takes a fair amount of athleticism (and wisdom).
Great job TT, that's endurance!
Young driver's should see that at as a chance of a 25 year career where you can still be on top...if the racing luck, good health cards fall in place.

He seems to do better with trotters, personally I'm not crazy about his driving style on anything and alot of people think he's top 2 or 3 which I totally disagree with. I think he's too passive of a driver. Of course, Pisser2 will probably respond with the usual, think you can do any better?

Considering his level of competition, not bad at all.

He’s at 9% and my trainer uses him all the time because he doesn’t abuse the horses he drives.
Plus, he’s never been suspended even 1 day for dangerous driving, locking wheels, etc.
He holds his own against Palone, Wrenn, Merriman, and Wilder without getting the favored horses.

We should partner on at least one t-bred and standardbred that makes it to the wc.
JT Sweet Stable
Spring and Summer in Ohio
Fall and Winter in Florida
I also want the stable to own their mares and sires...just in case tmbz1
5 year project. Bring good trainers in as JR partners.

Why don't you tell him you're madly in love with him.
That you spend more time with him other than yourself than any person on planet earth.
Say it already!
Andrew, I love you!
You'll feel better...then you can work on expressing yourself like a good boyfriend and not a pugilist ngc3

Not in overnight races, Scotty Z, in some cases. In others, TT. Except with regular overnights, claimers, I would not take the other 4 over TT. Tim can still drive. All depends on what's between the shafts.

I can't speak to a specific quote/post, but there certainly were some people who felt TT, his skills, career, etc., were far less than they used to be. His numbers were lower, but IMO not his skills. Just a function of his business and a convergence of circumstances. It happens. His first call trainers had a few slow years, so, he did too. Compound that with the drivers colony getting a new face or three, younger drivers coming in, and sliding numbers, and next thing you know even his first call trainers are looking elsewhere. Now you are longer price horses, less competitive, etc. Slippery slope. IMO TT can still drive competitively with whoever is out there. He may not get to be first choice any longer, and his #'s will reflect that.

Even though everything you say is accurate, his earnings in 2024 were 8.9 million, good for 9th place, 9.8 million in 2025, good for 4th, and 6.9 million so far this year, good for 4th place.

Let's face it..When the Fishman juice supply got cut so did a lot of Tims "live": drives.
Enter Dunn and now he's no longer the big dog and has lost "Live" drives.
A lot of the "Big" boys from back then are only average at best nowadays.

Absolutely!!! I agree completely! His #'s are still very good! I was only speaking to the nay-sayers.

Tetrick should be more of a factor as he is getting some of the more lively Burke drives. He’s doing well

While they don't have agents and "manage" their own business, I think TT will continue to do well. He's had to drive a lot to be in the top 10, and top 5 of money won, but that's what they have to do to get their business back going. TT is what, third on the all-time money list, will soon pass John Campbell, and only Dave Miller is ahead of him. He's gotta be approaching 15,000 wins and other one year, in the last 5 he's still top 5. A lot of people just knock. They live on negativity. I like TT and think he's still a top driver.
