Merriman will NEVER be a grand circuit driver!

Looked absolutely lost with Clever Cody against real drivers.  Sat outside the whole mile getting a whiff of that PA air!  LOL

I totally agree. I have been saying this for years. He is top dog at Northfield driving against Amish inbreds. And he usually is listed on the horse with the latest and greatest version of EPO.

Yes - zero talent.  Points and goes and has no B plan.  Definitely not HOF worthy.

Aaron's still a good man, a degenerate gambler, but a good solid guy who works his fuckin ass off..

Is working your ass off sitting behind ‘chemically enhanced’ racehorses?  He does put a lot of time in especially with his travel time added in.

  This is the truth. He can beat the amish guys like a drum but you take him elsewhere he is a non factor

I think he would do well if he moved East. He surely could be top 5 at Yonkers which would bank him a hell of a lot more money than he is making now, not to mention he wouldn't have to travel a gazillion miles a day. He's as good as Andrew McCarthy who is 2nd leading driver at M1 and gets a fair amount of stake drives. The time is probably now since Dave Miller is heading to Ohio.

Today is Miller High Life. That is my go to beer. Aaron hasn't won almost 16000 races by accident. He's got some talent.

Merriman would get demolished at YR and even worse at M.  Top drivers have zero respect for him as a driver.  He's nice guy is all anyone ever says about him.  Nice guys finish last.  He drives all the gas at NFLD and now the track is legit you see his numbers dipping because the front doesn't hold up like it used too.  I wouldn't rate him in the top 5 in Ohio!  Page, Miller, Noble, Wrenn, Smith are far better drivers.

Saw him break an odds on favorite trotter at the start Wed at Northfield.  Trotter had 1 break in 5 years before that.

  • Bitter Truth: That Golden Tempo , I'm afraid is  a money burner. Gets so far back. Was in range but just hung and raced even in the stretch. Didn't see a Derby winner in there in my opinion.
