If your parakeet is named Pigfuck, then that would make a great name for your next horse.

Roger Mayotte .....great horseman and even greater human being. Nothing but respect from me. Another who I had a very good opinion of  and could drive with anyone in the game was Trevor Ritchie !! He suffered from terrible pain from multiple injuries but always gave it his best......two guys who are sharp on and off the track!!
Come with me to the "Darkside",its a matter of life or death!!

Absolutely Trevor Ritchie was a great driver and Roger Mayotte an old school horseman and a true gentleman. When it comes to driving let's not forget Steve Condren.
Steve was a great one in the sulky for sure Iceman.......he could keep one going forever first up......I always respected that ability of his tmbz1

Ron Feagan was the best in Toronto, edging out Keith Waples for old school guys.  Christofouru and Randy Waples were the best new generation kids.

How about Paul Matthews as top dog at Flamboro?  Dave Wall was tops at London but he wasn't top ten material overall.

The biggest secret in all of harness racing back then was that the best driver at Windsor WAS NOT Greg Wright or Shelly Goudreau or Ken Hardy or Bill Gale or Chet Dewbre or Gerry Bookmyer but a guy named WALTER WEESE.  Doubt if any ploppers on this worthless forum ever heard of him.

Condren could drive but he was a nasty guy. Made Billy O'D seem charming.

Condren's a very nice man.  I met him at Gulfstream a few years ago.
