A very thoughtful post by At the 1/8 th pole

Some good observations

And you are right...Silva was a professional driver........som e years ago

By most groups definition of an amateur........."not having taken any money for driving a 3rd party horse in 10 years"...I wonder..does he meet these conditions  ??????

What most amateur clubs do is.......if a member HAS taken money in the last 10 years.......it must be paid back  to the amateur club or the Hall of Fame of the Trotter..or to a recognized charity..with a receipt provided for the payback.

Can any plopster provide any input on Mark Silvas possible last drive as a professional ??

MARK SILVA was NEVER a good driver.  He raced in California and won some races before he figured out a few special things and came to meadowlands.   He has had about 10 dead years after initial success. and now comes back with a little bit of force.  AS far as the game is concerned, Mark Silva is a second rate and a weird dude.  Basically semi- moronic outside of a barn.
