Merriman at Northfield and
« on: February 07, 2024, 06:15:42 AM »
Wonder why Merriman drove in the first five races at Northfield Tuesday night and then his mounts were scratched in all but 2 of the remaining races?

A lot of those drives were for B Rhoades, and all his horses were scratched.

Merriman is like Yannick.  He can only drive on the front end for gas trainers.  No top trainer will use him because he has no finesse or talent to work out a trip.  He ruined Ian Moores 2yo old in Ohio this yr piking him every start.  By the time he raced in the Metro he was uncontrollable and probably won't be worth a shit this yr.  Very very nice colt though.

You obviously don’t know Ian. Put them on the front if they can’t win it is the trainers fault. His best quote

Here you have a guy that most likely is going to win 25000 races in his lifetime, if he stays healthy and decoupling does not take place. A tremendous accomplishment, but against who or what?

How many of those races will have been stakes races........ the ultimate workaholic driver who will never advance past the minor leagues. Still 15k is pretty solid on the way to 25k, but will be remembered for almost nothing outside of being a passenger on Bill Rhodes juiced to the gills rocket ships.

The only way that Merriman would be on a 2yr old that I have anything to do with,is if I'm 1000% positive that the horse will not be in my barn at 3yrs old!
