Aww is Merton concerned with who I associate with???

I'm sure it will be a THRILLER!

  Going into the first turn!

Dave actually stacked him three deep and forced him to grab....

I was going over trainer options for Monticello.  Thankfully I don't race there but clearly the first guy I'd cross off the list for a bill or a deal is Tom Merton.  He's hard on the horse and can't win unless they let him.  He's 1 for 500 at Tioga, just a waste.

Think he's tough on one? Here he is at Golden Shoe training one with his two brothers. Disgusting. ZERO respect for a horse. They should have never given him his license back.

3.7% win percentage....

3.7 and people give him horses to train?  That’s crazy!

The world's worst trainer driver, sucks in the bike (numbers don't lie).  Takes it out on the horse cause he can't get it done, why don't they just get rid of the guy for good?  Didn't he have a lifetime ban?  Low percentage trainers always get "stuck" using him.

Spent a lot of years in the sin bin after being arrested in 1993 by the FBI for racefixing.

well who would you give them to ? doherty ? lounsbury ? messenger ? not many options

I just think a guy who has been barred for life and gets a kick out of hurting animals is a waste of life.  Owners associating with him that know the real Tom Merton are just as bad.
