If you were a driver...

[zoot]

why would you say that ? you know nothing about me or my experience ?

[zoot]

in my first post, I was speaking in terms of the race dynamics. I will agree that there are just too many non competitive races carded today, not only in harness, but also in the runners. way too often, there are horses that simply stick out and trainers that obviously are using PEDS.

onto the major Deegan and meadowbrook pkwy trying to get into the parking lots at yonkers and Roosevelt in the 70's. the world has changed. much more competition for entertainment dollar, many more forms of gambling etc. I miss the old days but time marches on.

Many many miles, hell I probably forgotten more than you will ever know

You trained for Stanley, who loved the engine? Zoot did...just sayin

With reference to the original question:
It would have made no difference.
Fact is RR is in the top 5 best horses in the country right now.
Jimbo came first over and you saw what happened.
Feel free to plunge next start no matter who the competition is or the post  !!!

you guys make me laugh. when a horse is bet to 3/5 it's obvious he shows far superior ability to the rest of the field if he is a legit 3/5. usually a legit 3/5 horse has the ability and speed to get to the front and control the race. really the only driver that can affect the outcome is the horse in front when the 3/5 shot comes. if that driver allows the 3/5 horse to get the front easily, it's he that concedes the race. after obtaining the front with a 3/5 shot the race is, more or less over and drivers that pull into slow fractions from back in the pack are committing suicide. blame the driver that surrenders the lead easily to sit the 2 hole. he's the one who concedes the race.

the drivers of yesteryr could not hold top drivers of todays jock. just one of many things todays are athletic. and in shape. today they try everyrace. they don't sit and wait and try once a month like trainer driver ala steve smith mentality. its go go go

[Calhoun]

Yeah it's that fucked up mentality that shows you haven't a fucking clue. The drivers of yesterday would take these fucking drivers to school even with the juice.

Oh yeah?

Exactly how would they fucking do that?

[Calhoun]

Americans do not shoot at lifeboats.

That has always been true.

In your case, I will make an exception.

Drivers of today are 'Point and Go" men. Put them on the gate and fire away. Most have NO clue how fast or slow they are going. Nor care.  Just lean way back-put your hand holds in your lap and go. Give them a whip, gloves, helmet and a fancy bike and they are drivers. AND a juiced up horse.

You truly are a fucking liar. You challenged me and said you will be at Mile Day at the 1/16th pole all day. I accepted and then you said you will be wearing a Vanderbilt hat and I said you will know I'm there when your in my shadow at 6'7" and 280 pounds I'll bounce you off the 1/16th pole.

YOUR THE BIG BLACK GUY THAT RUBS WIJI?
