If I ever got back into ownership.. I would have to insist to my trainer.. Who I won't name but uses multiple drivers in Ohio, that Chris would drive for us.. He will succeed even if he loses a few Burke horses to Miller once David moves back here.. Furthermore always bet Miller at Delaware. He is the all time leader in wins there. He got there yesterday for like the last 5 or 6 races.. and won 2 of them including 10-1 in the last race.
One thing you learn when you own horses it's very hard to get the driver you want. The top tier drivers are already taken most all the time. Burke always has him first. Then after that Chris has so many long time connections you better have a trainer that knows him well to get him. The best drivers are very hard to get unless your horse is exceptional.

You are correct.. but the trainer I used to have like I mentioned uses multiple drivers in Ohio but does use Chris quite often.. as my Dad would always say it's not what you know.. it's who you know.

I would love to. Ive been to practically every track in the country and LBJ has eluded me.

It is too bad because I love the fairs, been to them all in Maine,I love 1/2 mile, and I love getting loaded on the infield. I am sure you will be making your user name come true.

Have one more beer for me!
bello you should try 1 time to come here for jug day.. I enjoy your posts and race picks. I have a few tracks on my bucket list as well. Keep after those clowns at rosecroft that was a joke.

At least we got to enjoy a few races before "The (annoying) Voice" took over.

  • MTP1972: The year I hit that ticket for $5500 which they took out 31% at the window my income was very low that year so I did get back all of it as a refund.

  • MTP1972: I never had enough deductions to itemize so even if I was able to claim my losses it only would have been a small percentage. Thankfully the IRS finally changed the law regarding taxable tickets.

  • MTP1972: One year a long time ago I cashed IRS tickets for some people totaling around $40,000 making around $4000 doing so. I picked up thousands and thousands in losing tickets, kept programs and a daily log of how I did. When I filed my tax return that year and claimed them as losses I was audited by some old fart who didn't know shit. At the end of the audit he said I showed enough proof I lost the money back and he'd submit it in his report. 6 months later I get a notice from IRS saying my proof wasn't good enough and included a tax bill of $12,000, which I never paid because after 10 years they forgave it. Unforunately my state piggybacked on it and sent me a tax biil for $3200 which I disputed and they kept adding on interest and late fees. Finally 2 years later my bill was up to $8000 and they sent a wage attachment to my employer si I got fucked big time.

  • MTP1972: Back at Garden State Harness I hit an $11,000 trifecta for a $1 on a horse, Speedy Wright, driven by Mark Kesmodel paid $11 to win. The exacta paid $60 but a real bomb finished 3rd. Unforunately at that time if your winnings were over $5000 they automatically took out 28% + another 3% for NJ State Tax leaving me with only $3800 from a $5500 ticket.

  • Trigger: On 9/14/91 Yonkers Race 6 I bet a pick 4, put $80 in.  I used like 6 in the first leg, like a perceived dummy as 1/5 shot won.  I hit it and it paid @$9k.  The storyis in the trivia thread here.  Not my biggest score ever, but craziest for sure.
