Top Driver Shows Up At Northfield Tonight
« on: May 21, 2024, 09:01:36 AM »
Anthony MacDonald shows up tonight and only has 3 drives. All three for the Stable. You would think trainers would put him on their horses. Anyone have any ideas why he doesn't have more drives.

Watched him drive for years in Canada.
He stinks as a driver.
James got most of the talent in that family. Mark has done okay, especially when he drove for Casie.

Amac is lucky the track is round. Even Twaddle at The Meadows rarely uses him to drive a horse. Amac loves 2 things...go to the front  and be 1-5. He drives like he is going to fall out of the bike on the left. Not even an average driver at Northfield and a complete non entity at Scioto

he does love being 1-5. its a PR thing. he can tell his owners he has the best horse and what a great trainer/driver he is. when in reality he stinks. absolutely terrible. he gives big money for horses and charges the owners even more money to put these things in non winners races.

Based on those percentages and money won he would be starving. The Stable Scam must really be working well.

I looked and 3 are from the Stable. Wonder how the "partners" are loving that $140K purchase of Greatest Ending. Horse could not even win n/w of $1500 last week. The stable has more stiffs in the barn that a cemetery!! The reason he keeps doing those you tube training shows and having an open house is that he is quickly running out of sheep to shear..owners are getting wise to his scheme

Incorrect, one of the 3 is owned by the trainer.

Aside from AMac nickel and dimeing like crazy, last thing I would want is him driving my horse with big money on the line.  Why he never uses top catch drivers when he has openly admitted to not being a good driver blows my mind.

In defense of A. Mac - I've cashed many large $$$ tickets on his drives.

Its sad to see Greatest Ending race the way he is. He was 180,000 purchase by AMAC couldn't beat 6,000 claimers last week. Horse should be retired but AMAC keeps ripping off the owners.

he can hit on a price horse as he drives everything very aggressively and sometimes those trips payoff.
