It was often said that the 2nd best driver in Ontario was Ray MacLean Sr. when he was sober, and the best driver was Ray when he was drinking. All that said......the MacLeans, Hugh, Ray, Ray Jr & Dorothy were great people and neighbors.

Sorry to hear this. Another tragic loss to addiction. Talented guy. Couldn't beat the demons. I didn't know him well, but spoke with him numerous times over the years whenever I saw him. I'll never forget, he called me once about 20 years or so ago to tell me about a green horse he drove that he thought was really a nice horse and I should look to see if he was for sale. The colt showed some ability, won his first two starts, and was just starting out, maybe in the Grassroots or something. The horse was Stonebridge Galaxy. He ended earning about $800,000.

  • Sweet: A pussy to the end, I talk more racing than you.  You talk me 90% of the time for 6 months.  Seriously dude, drop to your knees and pray to be a man again.

  • Kirby's Ace: Onething for sure is plop members will be able to discyss horse racing without you drawing people into your fantasy world of make believe abd insults. Having to lower one's standards to be able to converse to yourvs quite difficult.

  • Sweet: Guy starts a NAZI thread then says he won't lowe himself.  Will protect Kirby's family  tmbz1 Anytime Calhoun and Kirby would start losing badly in a bang they'd call ADMIN or whomever had the BANDED button, then taunt their enemy who was beating them to a pulp to apologize...basic ally they need to have someone's hands held behind their backs so they can throw their mousy haymakers which land like cotton balls  ngc3  The no shows, all that bullshit is no surprise, compared to having to band someone who kicks your fucking teeth in, deservedly.  ngc3  Kirby & Calhoun - forever.  :-*  If they're HOF, then the Plop HOF is complete bullshit!  ;D
