The ageless wonder Donny Mc Kirgan
« on: February 22, 2024, 11:42:07 AM »
At 83 still driving a winner at Northfield in 2024.
Makes Biden and Trumpy look like kids.
God bless him.
Keep it up!
I am just an old horse trainer still going around in circles. Sometimes Fast. Sometimes Half-Fast.

Not surprised, I've always heard good things about Don.

The man has always been a master of trotters. I hope I'm able to still get one around the track at 83. If there are any tracks left

I paddocked a horse he drove when I was 17yrs old. I'm 60 and my body is a walking  wreck for the time spent in the game! He deserves a special send off when he decides that he is done!! I had not seen him in 40yrs and he still knew my name  without hesitation. I pray that when his time on earth is done,he goes in his sleep so he won't have to be told he is no longer safe! I hope to be able to chime in again on his 95th birthday!

I’ve seen this before. He should really think about retiring from driving and even celebrate it before something bad happens. If someone innocent gets hurt they will blame his age and ruin his legacy. He needs to go out on top.

  • Trigger: I got a feeling  ngc3 in today's Oaklawn Arkansas Derby, Race 13.  It's an 8 horse field, 3 of my horses are running, however I've jumped ship to a 20-1 ML, with only a 1/1 record maiden 1 mile score,  Taptastic!  ;D

  • Trigger: There was a Derby Prep at 2:15 am EST today in Japan (Danon Bourbon), and just now at 9:30 am in Dubai (Wonder Dean).  Both are Japanese horses.  Danon Bourbon remains by far the absolute favorite of all horses on planet Earth to WIN the Kentucky Derby!  ;D
