« on: October 27, 2024, 10:55:20 AM »
top 3 drivers right now are not north american born. dexter clear cut #1 todd mcCarthy #2 nobody gets more from a horse and is rarely in a bad spot, andrew McCarthy #3 never overdrives,usually in position and if you watch the stretch drive of sig sauer im not sure anyone else could of kept him from not breaking and win.

if dex or todd choose off dont bet the horse they chose off of.
was good to see many different trainers win
want happened to david miller,tim tetrick,yannik gingras?

Zeron made 2nd most money and he's not American born either.  Timmy is done and Yannick is trainer dependent.  Yannick only goes as far as Takter and Burke and Burke is using him less and less.  Ronnie Wrenn will be the new Burke guy in the coming years.

Totally agree about the drivers.. Yannick is an overrated one trick pony no pun intended,and I think Miller and Timmy haven't forgotten how to drive, they just don't have the horsepower this year.  I was close on many bets , but we all know what that pays. Lots of good races, it reminded me of how racing used to be at the Meadowlands, very few holes given, no 2nd quarter breathers, lots of movement. The on air broadcast was very lackluster. That's my 2 cents on the night.

Some of you guys are still sleeping on the fact that after Dunn, James MacDonald is as good as anyone.

Chris Page drives just as much for Burke and is a much better driver than Ronnie Wrenn Jr. Also when Miller comes back to Ohio he will take alot of the Burke horses from both Wrenn and Page.

I've had both Wrenn, Page and Miller drive my horses over the years. IMO I would take Miller or Page over Wrenn any day of the week.

Correct. There is a reason he drives at Northfield and The Meadows and not much at Scioto.

Dunn drives 95% favorites in the top purse races all year. Let him go drive overnights at any track for 5 years and and let’s see how he compares then

He is the best now and it's not close but 3 of the 4 favored would still be favored without him. Maryland, Twin B and Winner's Bet. I'm actually shocked Mirage Hanover wasn't favored.. he has been a monster his last few starts.

If he drove at Yonkers for a full year would he be the leading driver
