I have heard him talk to some of the young drivers, He said don't f--- up like I did. The kids had their ears up and seem to take that in.
Charles Manson said the same thing. PS.. I heard Maine just gave Manson a P license.

Not sure if he'll ever apply anywhere else again, but if he does, it will be hit or miss. His record, like his demons, will travel alongside him forever.

I believe when he applied years ago in Pennsylvania, if he lost, he would be unable to apply anywhere else for 5 years.  Is it 5 years already?

Can someone please verify this?

Thank you

Does anybody think bettors give a shit, they loved the guy. Nobody else in the business ever kicked a horse, did drugs or hit their wives. Fine none stabbed  their wives, some probably would have if they found a handy steak knife. A bunch of hypocritical jerks.

You're a fucking jerkoff. How many friends and or acquaintances do you have that tried to kill someone? As far as bettors are concerned, the man has been driving for several years now at the lowest of low tracks with the the worst drivers colony and can't win a driving title. He is a washed up 62 year old has been.

Guy is and absolute disgrace. I remember when he ended up at Northfield, he was driving one for us and we had a conversation, I asked him point blank what does it take to you to straighten up, his exact words “ Ted Wing always told me that I would til I hit rock bottom “
I said rock bottom, your at Northfield now last year u dominanted YRS, young man your looking up at rock bottom. He just laughed

Case would have just cut her into two pieces instead of stabbing her.

If he's just a washed up 62 yr. old, he won't win, he won't get  any drives and will go back to Maine, but, the man did his time and deserves the chance to try.

Case was given many second tries before he went to jail. He had no respect for the racing rules and given he drove high on drugs shows he didn’t have respect for other drivers, trainers or horses. Attempted murder on his wife was just the icing on the cake. I would never trust him today with a horse I owned. Sorry

Pretty simple as far as I see it. He was found guilty of a crime of twenty. He was sentenced. He did his time. Case closed. Now, here we are today. Either you feel should have the opportunity to get a license----and if the racing commission agrees----he can drive. Or, you feel the opposite, he deserves a lifetime ban, should never be given a license, and can never drive. For or against. All the rest is head-trash, deflection, and BS. To me, whichever side you fall on and whichever opinion you have----you don't need to justify it. You are entitled to your opinion. I don't have a problem with either.

Living in Maine and a fan of harness racing up here, I've had a chance to meet and chat with Casey. I think that he is pretty humble about the folks who support him and equally understanding about the ones who don't. I think he knows he fucked up big time. He knows how many feel about him. And I'm sure he knows his "glory days" are far behind him. And with racing in the shape it is here in Maine, I think he barely "eeks" out a living here. No real money around and I can't see any trainer or driver getting rich here. What would you think about a jurisdiction giving him a 90 day probation period before granting him a permanent license? Random drug testing, weekly evaluations, etc. I'm curious what you folks think.

I think I used it in the right context. Did I spell it incorrectly?
