Has anyone ever been listed on this many high purse races all in one day?
Anyone want to guess what his win total will be?
I guess 9 wins.
How about purse total?
I guess $400,000

That's a big line up. I would suspect the old "Million Dollar Babies" card at the Meadowlands, a Breeders Crown card, a major stakes/championship day, or something of the like. I remember Million Dollar Babies night at the Meadowlands-----John Campbell and Billy O'Donnell would have drives in every single race. Eventually Jackie Mo, same thing. Same when Mike Lachance finally moved his tack to the Meadowlands.

I often wondered how different it would be if these drivers had agents like the jockeys do in t-breds.

[gh2009]

In my opinion the top drivers are better off without an agent who on average get 25% of the jockey's purses.

International Trot card has 11 or 12 races for >$250k plus Mohawk had stakes that night that the top drivers went up for

That's a huge card too. So was the old NYSS Championship Night. The WEG big stakes nights are major cards.

I can recall a year or two ago "Ohio super  night" at Scioto had about 3 million in purses. All the sire stakes finals, the Ewert Memorial for older pacers and the Charlie Hill for older trotters at 250,000 each. Dexter will be laughing his way to the bank.

Dunn is listed on 21 races on one day with 17 of them for $65,000 or more.
My point is the number of high purse drives for one driver /one day.

Excellent point.. in that case the only thing I can think of is on LBJ day they usually have between 20 to 23 races and all of them are decent purses... meaning tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and Miller would be in just about every race. Ohio connection and all. Not only would he have drives on the jug, old oaken bucket, ms versatility etc.. he would have them in the Ohio breeders championship races as well.

[Harness racer]

I'm guessing 500+.  I think he is going to win 3 of the 4 big ones at Dayton.

2 at a bare minimum should be layups with jiggy jog and twin b joe fresh, He will probably be favored or 2nd choice with Logan Park and Abuckabett. He could easily go 4 for 4.

[Harness racer]

I agree.  Would like to see him sweep the big ones despite not being an Andrew Harris fan.

To me its a pleasure to watch DEX  DUNN AND CHRIS RYDER do an interview as both  seem humble and make me feel like the game has class,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Dextor Dunn is the steph curry of the standarbred game as he always puts a good show on and he to me is the money man in this game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The game needs to promote him as i believe he will be a fan favorite for a long time to come,,,,,,,,,,,I would never have believed that possibly in both breeds od TB AND harness that AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND would have the best driver and rider as i believe that JAMES MCDONALD is also the best jockey in the world or real close to it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[JT]

1st start he wins at 12-1..with him driving the odds should never be that high.

Amazing. That horse really looked overmatched on paper.
The inside part of the track maybe should be avoided due to conditions

[Any1Left]

I may be wrong but LOGAN PARK would surprise me JT AND I THINK sylvia will upset today,,,,,,,,,,, NEED TO SEE HOW THE TRACK PLAYS,,,,,,,,
